<p>I spent a bit of the holiday drunk but not the whole time so can't even blame that :-)</p> -
<p>I think I hate and love cardio equally now. Part of my morning routine is a quick but extremely tough walk up a track near where I live. I've taken to gently jogging up it now and watching the times come down is pretty satisfying. Only 15 or so minutes but the burning lungs and sweat I build up indicates I'm doing something beneficial ! Really nice view of the town belt makes it a pretty satisfying walk.</p>

<p>I think I speak for many on here when I saw fuck going on an hour run, who has time for that shit ?</p> -
<p>yep, it's the one thing I do like about high intensity training. If I've gotta do cardio I want it over asap and feel like I've smashed myself. Not a fan of long works or low impact cardio. Pfft</p>

<p>Long runs are a sure fire way to lose "gains" too and I know I speak for both of us when I say that's a fate worse than death.</p> -
<p>hell yeah! anything over 100m is just pissing away that muscle mass ha ha</p>

<p>With these ever lengthening daylight hours I'll soon be able to start doing stair sprints after work again. Nearly that time of year!</p>

<p>Yeah other half is keen for some of that sort of stuff so we're gonna end up being one of "those" couples over spring/summer ( shudders )</p> -
<p>I'm sure there are some benefits to be had bro! :whistle:</p>

<p>Well whichever way it goes we're not doing matching lycra I can assure you of that</p> -
Inspired by the ol boy @JK I did some stair "sprints" yesterday. Fucken fantastic burn in the legs and lungs in a very short period of time. I was only going up and down for less than ten minutes and was hammered in a short period of time. Way better that than doing cardio for a long time and risk losing my gains bro !

I did stair sprints last night but hadn't posted it in my thread yet...
Was that you @MN5 in the bushes then making all those grunting noises????

Here are some pics of the patented MN5 stairs of doom, just a few brisk walks up and down them this morning, with the recent weather I'd be stupid to run and risk slipping and fucking myself up !
Photos don't really do them justice.......bit of a blind spot as you're running up which is potentially dangerous if someones coming the other way !
-
Feeling E=MC Hammered after this morning brutal stairs workout. Went up and down 5 times WITHOUT ANY rest whatsoever, whole thing woulda taken 6-8 minutes but legs were like jelly, lungs absolutely killing me.....hard work just ambling across the flat to get home.
But that vs a one hour run ? no contest.....
Will aim for this three times a week ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday ) with a day off to recover cos it's potentially tough on the joints. Still a bit muddy even though it hasn't rained in a few days today too.

I like that there is a Danger signed pinned on those stairs. Big Red on a rampage!!
