There are 48 steps up on this lovely stairway where I work.
The decorations are still up from 'Casino Night'.
The other stairway is more direct, and has only 24 uncarpetted stairs.
I prefer to use these to help keep my legs in shape for cycling the TransCanadaTrail next year.
One thing I've always had trouble with when ascending stairs and hills is a terrible heaviness in my legs which stops me for a few moments until it eases up.
Recently, I noticed if I breathe hard, take in deep breaths, then I don't get that leadened feeling in my legs, and don't have to stop midway.
I think it means shallow breathing, my normal way of breathing, causes a lack of oxygen in the blood stream. I'm only guessing, of course.
Whatever works best, right?
