Well, I’ve slacked off here a bit – this blog was never meant to be a full-time blog, though I do love writing about what I’m doing on the stairs and with other exercise, it isn’t really a focus. Writing books is much more my focus at the moment. I’ve been carrying up 6-7 liters [...]

I was all set to run today – was going to take baby to the park at the river and watch her swing and slide, then my wife would meet me there and I could do an hour of running / walking. The thunderclouds had other plans and started dumping on us heavily an hour [...]

Today I did 3 trips up the stairs in 15:20, 16:21, and 19:32. Nothing fast – just wanted to do three climbs in the heat of the day – at 2:30pm, when the sun is still hitting the steps. It was about 91 degrees F today and again – no wind at all. Man these [...]

Diet – On the Path to Losing 10 Kilograms of Fat for Stair Climbing Racing
Posted on 28 December 2011.
Did you ever see Michael Arnstein? He’s an ultra-distance runner, among other things. He went over in one of his videos, why we need to be around 5% body fat to compete. The best in the world are always at about that fat percentage. Horses are at about 3-4% body fat and they eat grain. [...]

Stair Climbing Workout Journal 12-25-11

This is my second workout after declaring my goal for 2012 as gaining entry to the top 100 stair climbers in the world list. My back was sore after using my arms to pull me up the railing while climbing these stairs two days before. I have an old soccer injury that creeps up when [...]
