I was scrolling through some past workouts and came across one where we ran the stairs at Myers Park high school.  Since our focus this week is back on running, I’m bringing back a stairs workout that we did just over a year ago.

We’ll meet in front of the Cornwell Center, ready to stretch at 6 am.  Our run route will be at a comfortable pace and will take us behind the Cornwell Center along Roswell Avenue, left onto Colony Road, and then up the hill into the high school parking lot near the football stadium.  The run route is approximately 1.6 miles (see map below).

From there, we’ll do 6 sets of stairs as follows:

SET 1:  2 sets of stairs and one lap around the small parking lot

SET 2:  2 sets of stairs and one lap around the small parking lot

SET 3:  1 set of stairs and two laps around the small parking lot

SET 4:  1 set of stairs and two laps around the small parking lot

SET 5:  3 sets of stairs and one lap around the small parking lot

SET 6:  4 sets of stairs then comfortable pace back to the Cornwell Center

The small parking lot is approximately 1/8th of a mile distance.  Total WAWA running distance planned minus the stairs is about 4.1 miles

Weather forecast for 6 am tomorrow is a “cool” 70 degrees!

See you in the morning!
