TO STAIR OR NOT TO STAIR

Here is a new Santa Monica workout loop I plotted out today. I actually did it and it was pretty darn cool I must say. I ran it fairly mellow pace, did 2 sets of stairs each set, and it took me 45 minutes.



This is a 4 mile loop. The beauty of it is that it can be a fairly mellow loop for newer runners who have worked up to 4 miles, OR a pretty narly loop if you add in all the stairs. I am just really getting back to training, so I did 2 sets of each stair and will work up to 5. THIS IS A FANTASTIC WORKOUT FOR THOSE DOING WILDFLOWER OR ALCATRAZ! (we will be doing my 5pm spin and this loop at 6 this month on tues or thurs)
