Ripped for Raro 2016
-
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!!

The homoeroticism of this thread is getting to "Rocky" stages boys, please be careful.....

Stairs of doom this morning and Monday. Feeling a slight ache around the glutes so might get a rub down from the better half tonight if I play my cards right. I'm aiming to do this three times a week ( the running, massages are welcome anytime ) but thinking perhaps scaling back and taking a "less is more" approach ? interested in thoughts on this. I do love that I can totally destroy myself in about 10 or so minutes but I should probably listen to my body.
I think I'm getting better at doing them, the stairs are uneven and slippery so it's good for the co-ordination too.

Bit of soreness isn't too much of a problem. You doing any warm down or stretching afterwards?
I'd just watch out for slipping bro, sounds like you are running up a death trap!

Yeah I do both before and after and the walk home afterwards ( usually about 5 minutes but takes me 10 after the workout ) is good for a bit of active type recovery particularly getting up the drive which is a breeze when I'm fresh but akin to climbing Everest when I'm not !
