Joy Run #22: Stairs 📶

In partnership with

A stairway to…? You decide.

(thanks to Christine, aka @afrenchgirlinparis, who suggested this week’s theme)

Elevation is an important part of running.

Most trails involve some elevation gain. Most races have a tricky section. Stairs and steps might not be an appealing prospect but they offer a high-intensity spike in any workout that’s great for building fitness and resilience.

But instead of making this week’s Joy Run a hilly hell, let’s focus on what awaits you at the summit… 

The views. The sense of achievement. An actual runner’s high.

It could be achieved via a famous climb. Old town steps. A castle on top of a hill. A winding staircase. The doorstep at the end of your run.

How you interpret this week’s run is up to you.

As always, don’t forget to tag Joy Runs on Instagram with your efforts.
