Running up and down (House Stairs )

[AmmunitionVx]

Hey all, I know this sounds funny, but i was thinking about running up and down my House Stairs on a empty stomach in the mornings for about 20 - 30 minutes , Since It would take to long to get to the gym or a Track, and i'm not in favor of running about my block.


So what do you guys think about this?

I personally would not do it, but I think it's an ok form of exercise if you want to do it

Running stairs sucks in my opinion. The propensity for sustaining a fairly serious injury is just too high. If you're training with sufficient intensity, then as you tire you're going to run the risk of missing a stair and either rolling an ankle or knee, or taking a dive down the stairs. I'd say you're better off to just find a nice hill somewhere near you. Preferably, the hill should be grass or a chip trail just to make life easier on your knees, but if all you can find is a steep street, then that's still better than stairs--you'll get the same workout (if not better because you'll actually be able to run down the hill), and you'll be less likely to sustain an injury.

We use to run steps at the stadium during practice.
It would wear your butt out real fast.
