Subject: How do you train for a vertical marathon? I am going to sign up for the Swissôtel The Stamford Vertical Marathon (http://www.rafflescityhotels.com/vm_2004/ ) on 7 Nov 2004 in Singapore.I would have to climb 73 floors and 1,336 steps!!! luckily there is no cutoff timing. What do one have to do to train for such an event so as to complete it???Never done a vertical marathon in my life.Can it be done??? Do I have to start climbing stairs for training? My flat is 15 storeys high so does that mean I have to climb the 15 storeys of stairs for 4 times (take lift to ground floor and start again ) to prepare for this?????How do you train for a vertical marathon within less than 2 months? I run at least 3 times a week. |
