Training
1. Get a physical or exam from your physician before being any physical endeavor. Make sure to let your physician what you plan to do.
2. Check the stair climb websites (SkyRise, CF Climb for Life, etc...). Training tips are often posted on these sites.
3. Start slow. Remember these particular stairclimbs are not races. Start slow and pace your progress.
4. Cardio, flexibility training, and strength training are the cornerstone for fitness.
5. Take the stairs. Remember stair climbing is very different from horizontal activities (walking, jogging, running). Take the stairs whenever and wherever possible, but only do so safely (not carrying multiple or heavy packages, no current injuries).
6. Train on the stairs. Remember, start slow, monitor your breathing and pace yourself. Start out with 3 to 5 floors at a slow pace. If possible take the elevator down. Go up the stairs again. Try for 5 reps. Try doing this for 4 or 5 days. Next week add a floor or two and comfortable increase your place.
7. Balanced nutrition and hydration is necessary.
8. Get plenty of sleep.
