71 Year Old Stair Climbing Man Runs Steps 840 to 925! - Thailand

http://www.GoUpIt.com - our stair climbing fitness site.

Alfred is 73 now... and a UK native that shows how easy it is to walk up 1,237 Steps - in 17 Minutes. He has done it as fast as 15:30.

Alfred is an incredibly motivational person to know. He's driven to accomplish things physically that most people his age can't even dream about for themselves. Heck, most 18 year olds can't climb 1,237 stairs up a mountain in 15.5 minutes.

This is the first of a series I'll be doing on Alfred stair climbng for fitness and sport, here and at some of my other sites.

He motivates me to look forward to my 60's and 70's as a time where I can be turning everyone's head by flying up mountains and running races. I don't ever want to be someone sitting in a wheelchair at 70, or playing Bingo or watching TV.

Alfred has the right outlook - go for it while you can. Living in Thailand affords anyone this opportunity. If you have as little as $800 per month coming in for your retirement check you can live very well in Thailand. No joke. I lived on $300 per month for 18 months... WITH my girlfriend, now wife. Amazing yes?

Stair climbing is a brutal sport that requires mind-discipline, above all. If you are looking for a great sport to start - and you live near some outdoor stairs or even skyscrapers with fire-escapes, you can get started right away. Stairs are a low-impact way to get started to serious fitness, and can be combined with many other exercises to ramp up your physical fitness level.

The gentlemen isn't 71, more like 18.. Well done Sir keep it up.

[thaipulsedotcom]

@buggerITS he is 73 now and still doing the climb as fast - he did 15:30 the other day! that equals his previous best. He's getting better with age it appears.

@CHINGYCHONGY ha! yeah, there were a lot of tourists here this day. Thais are smart, they walk up after 3pm when the sun doesn't hit you on this side of the mountain!

[chronicreader]

Well, if a person is not in shape, a few months of that every day, and you will get you in shape fast!

[buggerITS]

I can see why he rushes up there, the views amazing.. Keep it up!!!

[thaipulsedotcom]

@VVhiteBoyChase I was in good shape at the time, but I was breaking my form by sprinting ahead of him sometime to catch him from above, and shooting from behind - then running to catch up... I had a backpack on with a few kilograms of weight too - camera, lenses, phone, etc.
