What are the benefits of altitude?
Long distance runners who train at high altitude develop greater lung capacity relative to those who train at or near sea level. Consequently, when these high altitude runners compete with runners from lower altitudes, they have an advantage regardless of whether they compete at lower or higher altitudes.
