Anyone doing or did the CN Tower Stair Climb? Any tips?
Probably should've asked weeks ago, but I signed up for the public climb this Saturday with a couple friends... I've never done any real cardio event for distance before, though I'm pretty competitive with these guys so I still want a good time
Cardio isn't really my forte, but I've been practising on the stairclimber and going up/down a local apartment for the last month or so. For those who've done this before, with good times (my ideal goal is sub 25 minutes, less than 20 would be great), can you give me any pro tips? So far I've read that 1) Pace yourself 2) Do two steps at a time and 3) Don't stop, are all important if you want to clock in well.
Morning of - skip breakfast or no? Better to go early as possible or later in the morning? During the climb, how would you pass people with manners, especially if the stairwell's crowded? Do you guys keep your breathing aerobic the entire way, or start sprinting towards those last few flights?
Again it's my first time so I'm not expecting world class speed, but I'm excited to really challenge myself; hopefully if all goes well I'll prepare much earlier for the April climb next year
