Wow. Way to go!
I totally understand your pain…although I haven’t been to CA, I did face a pretty nasty set of stairs when I was running in an unfamiliar area. I saw them and figured it would be no big deal–by the time I got up the stairs I wanted to pass out. But hey, they are a great full body work out.

Stairs have always kicked my butt, even when in the best shape of my life I would be wiped out by stairs.

They sound like fun. Man the stats you could play off on those babies… I’m also a geek (can you tell).

Looks like a good workout. I used to try and climb stairs at a building I worked but as it didn’t have showers – I could not really work that in to my exercise routine.

I love outdoor exercise, although sometimes I am self-conscience about working out in front of people.

I’ll need to hit those up if I am ever in Canada!

Treadmill workout; cramped room, noisy machine, no fresh air. Stair workout; nice scenery, fresh air, people watching so you can’t slow down! I’ve discovered that the reason I couldn’t ever maintain a workout routine is because I was always trying to get my workout on a treadmill… that was horrible. I think working out is always much more enjoyable outside; its actually possible to enjoy something like a hike or jog through the neighborhood on a nice day! (to some degree, haha)

oh, by the way, the stairs I use here have 185 steps and they vary in incline. ONe section is great for going two steps at a time and they’re spread out, so it’s like an extended uphill lunge. Another section is quite steep and is great for sprints.

they’re called the Royal Glenora Stairs here in Edmonton

Stairs rock. I climb em, sprint em and have yet to barf.

They sound very interesting, but I have never been to them. I am glad you made it though. Great job! It must of been a good experience I would think. For me my legs are the least worked muscle in my routine. I guess I should do some stairs once in a while. haha. Nice Article!
