Training with a 'high-altitude' mask makes breathing harder, but that doesn't necessarily equate to improved cardio-respiratory fitness or does it give you the same affect as training in the mountains.

Don't get me wrong: I'm all for gaining every little advantage in training. But there isn't actually much benefit to be gained by training with an elevation mask, which attempts to improve cardiorespiratory fitness other than improving the strength of these muscles.

Endurance performance is not limited by the amount of air you get; it's limited by the amount of oxygen in that air, and how you use it. By training in a hypoxic environment, and not changing partial pressure as altitude would, all you're doing is improving the strength and endurance of your respiratory system. That's it, nothing more.

However by restricting air, your work output will not be as good therefore your training session will be subpar. So you need to ask yourself... what's more important for this session?

The Elevation Training Mask does work but in a different way. If you have a question, post it now.
