I use the treadmill first thing as a warm up at gym, I'm still rehabbing the knee so I'm gradually increasing speed, now set speed on 3.5 mph and incline on 2 degrees and increase degrees by one every minute, by the time I reach 10 degrees it starts getting warm.

To get ready for climbing stairs at Amicalola SP, I tried out the stairmaster at my gym. Wow, that thing gets you sweating in no time.
First I ran a mile on the dreadmill to warm up then did 30 min on the stairmaster. I went pretty slow, alternating between 60-80 steps/min. I don't know how accurate the simulation is but I hope it'll make climbing a little easier.
Next time I'm going to wear a weighted day pack. And I don't believe in the accuracy of those machines. Today it said I had around 850' elevation gain.
