Running stairs is the same as running Hills?

Question

Stairs are the only place I can think of to imitate a hill. I need to run hills for XC but i cannot drive thus I cannot go to a park with hills or anywhere else.

Running stairs is the same as running Hills?

And are there any other suggestions as to a different place I can find to run which is a hill or similar?

Answer 1

Go to a street with a sloping hill. If there is one near your house then you can just make it your warm-up before doing the hills.

Most treadmills now have a slope function that imitates a hill. It actually gets harder like a hill does.

but roads or trails are really the best. I hope this helps! Good luck! :)
