Do NOT introduce a new exercise/training element into your regiment 3 days before a scheduled event.
I was at the local high school doing a little speed work on the track and noticed a rather attractive young woman running the steps. I thought to myself,,, "mmmm, that looks like a good work out",,,, (running the steps,,,

. I proceeded over and ran steps for about 25 minutes and felt pretty good. (Attractive young woman left with without saying a word.)
The next day I got up and WOW, did my calves hurt. They still hurt. I stretch three times a day and they are not much better. I continue to run, bike, etc., but the pain is still there. Lesson learned.

Oooh...stair workouts, yes those are killer. We used to go up and down a 25 story building in high school cross country. My knees would literally be knocking at the end of it, but damn it's good for you!

Oh, stairs... i learned the hard way how hard they are on the calves. I decided a good workout to add to my day would be to do the 7 flights in my building during lunch. Felt good doing them, and then hobbled for several days till the calves recovered.

maybe next time the attractive girl will stick around, and the workout will be worth it.
