Wow! You ladies are phenomenal. I want to be like you when I grow up!
Colby, when I run hills I pretend I'm walking up an escalator. For some silly reason that helps!

Great idea, makes sense: small steps, on a beat, pushing harder to go up.

Hummm.. Food for thought.

Great job on the training everyone! The wind was killer this weekend. I did an easy 8 mile run--I don't want to lose all my endurance after the mary. I'm hoping to do a 12 miler next week . . . we'll see. Anyways, after my run, my legs felt so exhausted! And then, this morning at spin, I felt as though I was running on empty. I must not be fully recovered yet.

SO much of running is mental, that really makes sense. I'll have to try that next time. Great idea Originally Posted by kaybee

High buildings (easier if you work in them!), pedestrian overpasses, and any friend's house with more than one flight of stairs in a row! Originally Posted by colby

Our local university has a nice football stadium but dropped its football program. They allow use of the stadium for stair climbing workouts.
If you have anything along those lines nearby, it could be worth checking out.
