Stair running good?
So I was thinking about running stairs, since the park is only a few blocks from my house and has this huge set of stairs called Jacobs Ladder. Will it wreck my knees? Would it be better for me than regular running?

listen,
I read your post in D&S.
I think you need to start slow and then build to stairs. Do something like 2 miles a day for a month. Once your muscles, lungs, and joints can handle it, incorporate some interval sprinting.
Then after a few monthes of that, go for the stairs.

Make sure you stretch really well afterwards.

As someone who has done a lot of stairs, I agree with the advice everyone's given except the hurt your knees part. When I do lots of stairs, I get Tendonitis in my IT band, I can deal with it, but it's pretty debilitating to a lot of people, that's just my oppinion though. Just warm up every time you work out, cool down and stretch afterwards, and build up to the stairs, and know when enough is too much.

What would be the difference between running hills and running stairs? I have access to both is one better than the other?

i dont think anyone is better, i think stair running builds more strength than running but running has better cardio for long distance.You choose
