Don't buy the strobe glasses. You'll get better at the drill and nothing else.

Nose-only on easy days. Open your mouth the moment it gets hard.

Do 30 breaths twice a day on the trainer if you race. It's the legs that gain.

Do your breath-hold tables on the floor. Never in water, never after hyperventilating.

Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia

Skip the hypoxic mask. Sprint hard in normal air.

Normobaric hypoxic tents and simulated live-high-train-low

Don't buy the altitude tent. Tested against a fake one, it did nothing.
