5k training on Stairmaster Stepmill
Stairmaster Stepmill
I had my best 5k time in the Arnold Pump and Run after training exclusively on one of these babies. I kind of forgot how potent they can be. Today, I decided to take a day off from running and get on one of these instead.
I did 25 minutes at level 7 on the Mount Ranier program. Average heart rate of 140 with high of 159 and low of 93. 374 calories burned.
What makes these things such good training tools is they are easy on your joints and once your heart rate gets up there, it doesn’t come back down anytime soon. I think I’ll incorporate one training session a week on one of these.
