How much of an effect does it really have?<br><br>
I am tossing around the idea of running a HM in Tahoe in late September. However, I am little worried about it because I currently run at sea level. I dont really see a drastic decrease in performance when I go to my parents house (~4000ft), but I know Tahoe is at ~6000ft. It will be only about a month before my 1st marathon, so I don't want to push it too much, but I do think it would be fun. I wouldn't push it, I would just use it as a fun training run. Should I do it? Or is the elevation going to kill me?<img alt="confused.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/confused.gif">
