Running UP stairs

142 stairs in 27 seconds! I recently started running up stairs as a way to cross train, to hopefully improve cardio/stamina, so that it might help me to reach my goal of hopping up at least 100 stairs on my Unicycle. The 27 seconds it took me to run up all 142 translate to just over 5 stairs per second. Might have had even faster time if I wasn't also holding a gopro attached to a tripod while running up!

Well done.
I couldn't fall down them that quickly.

Re: Running UP stairs

Well done Terry, you seem determined to conquer those steps so I hope you achieve your target one day soon.

Re: Running UP stairs

When I was in my thirties, my boss in his sixties used to go flying up stairs. His mantra was, up the stairs and down the lift - and don't get the two mixed. Made me puff a bit...... I still do do that


Well done super stepper, you can only get better!

Crikey, I can't even walk up stairs, let alone run up them.

Re: Running UP stairs

That's an outstanding achievement, UniGeezer. Don't think I could do that.
Last time I climbed the 12 floors of my local hospital I was severely out of breath, and I call myself a relatively fit person.
