Day 3 – stair running in Taormina, Sicily

Day 3 – cardio

I hope you’re ready – today is mentally tough.  You need to find a set of stairs or a hill and go up it as fast as you can again, and again, and again……

There are two major advantages of training on hills or stairs:

1. It’s harder, so you don’t necessarily need to train for as long.

2. It’s lower impact than normal running (or fast walking), perfect for tired knees and hips.

I did my stairs just before 7am and it was already super hot.  I’ve been injured and unable to run for over a year now, so getting out and running up a hill with scenery like this was an unbeatable start to the day.  Loved it!
