I did stair WALKING once a week at the University of Pittsburgh, 36 stories, about 500 vertical feet, started with one, and worked up to 3 sets with about 5 minutes rest between. Each set took about 9 minutes.
You did the Cathedral of Learning! I used to call it the Pitt Phallus.
I like stair running from time to time, as a change from speedwork or hill repeats. Feels good -- if you were to ask me on any given day if I'd like to run stairs for 30 minutes or do a 13 mile run, I'd go with the stairs. |
