In plains at ground level, the air is at normal pressure, and oxygen levels are normal. Higher in the mountains, the air is thin, and there is much less oxygen.

Your body needs oxygen to release energy, so, the less oxygen your body receives, the less energy your body can release, therefore making it harder to run.
