β„οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Hello Winter! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβ„οΈ

The first day of winter has arrived, but that doesn’t mean we stop climbing!

Cooler mornings, shorter days and a few extra layers are all part of the season. Winter is actually one of the best times to hit the stairs β€” crisp air, fewer excuses, and that unbeatable feeling when you’ve finished a climb and warmed yourself from the inside out.

Whether you’re training for an event, chasing a PB, or simply climbing for fitness and friendship, every step counts.

So grab your beanie, pull on your SCA colours, and keep moving this winter. πŸ’šπŸ’›

Here’s to another season of stair climbing, good health, great company, and plenty of stairs!

Who’s climbing this winter? πŸ‘‡β„οΈ

The #1 predictor of how long you’ll live isn’t your weight, your steps, or how often you lift, it’s your VO2 max and how efficiently your body uses oxygen.

And one of the best ways to build it? Zone 2 cardio πŸ‘ŸπŸ”₯

HOW TO FIND YOUR ZONE 2:
βœ”οΈ Pace where you can talk but not sing
βœ”οΈ Around 60–70% of your max heart rate
βœ”οΈ Feels like a 5–6/10 effort
βœ”οΈ Nose breathing should still be possible

HOW MUCH PER WEEK:
➑️ Aim for around 150 mins weekly
➑️ Break it into 3–4 sessions
➑️ New to it? Start with 20–30 mins and build gradually

WAYS TO GET IT DONE:
πŸƒ Incline walking
🚴 Easy bike rides
πŸ₯Ύ Rucking (adding weight vest)
🏊 Steady swim laps
πŸ• Long walks with hills
πŸ“ž Walking during calls
🎧 Podcasts or audiobooks to make the time fly

And yes… stairs count 😏
Not every session needs to be all-out. The longest-lasting athletes build a strong aerobic base by moving steadily for long periods consistently.

280kms from Porto to Santiago de Compostela… completed βœ…

SCA member Margaret Butera crossed the finish line of an incredible Camino journey, only to be greeted by one final challenge… stairs πŸ˜…

After days of covering kilometre after kilometre, the steps leading up to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela still had to be conquered. The grand staircase at the Obradoiro faΓ§ade has welcomed pilgrims for centuries, making it a fitting final climb after such a journey.

From one challenge to the next β€” because stair climbers always find stairs wherever they go πŸ’šπŸ’›

πŸ‘ Congratulations Margaret!
