To aid recovery, Athletics Kenya installed Altitude Sleep Pods in Eldoret camps on October 25, 2025—pressurized rooms simulating 1,500m for athletes from lowland regions, reducing altitude insomnia. Rest is altitude’s gift—when delivered wisely, said Dr. Evans Kipkoech. In trials, sleep quality improved 63%. World Athletics is piloting the model for the 2026 World Cross in Morocco. All national camps at 2,000m+ now include pods.
