Subject: RE: Training at 5k altitude + breathing faster? I live/train at 7,000 ft elevation part of the year, and yes, breathing while trying to run the same pace as when I'm at 1,100 ft elevation is much more labored. The 5,000 ft you live at would have the same effect.
I don't know if you're running "too hard", but if you're out to do a LSD run and your breathing is labored or too fast to be able to speak easily, then maybe you should slow down a bit. You might want to see what your HR is and gauge your effort by that.
