Stairs intervals

Today was another stairs workout. This one I ran again in the same 5-flight stairwell at work (123 steps in height). Every-other step bounding ascent. Every step easy descent. This time it was an interval workout though. 8 laps with 30 seconds rest at the bottom. Ascent was targeted at 85% effort. Using hand rails to aid climb.

8 laps. (40 flights up, 40 flights down).
Total ascent time: 3min 58sec
Total descent time: 7min 45sec
Total rest time: 3min 32sec

Sandwiched the stairs with a 1m treadmill warm-up and cool-down.

Friday: 1m run warm-up, stairs, 1m run cool-down
