    My name is Tim Young and this is my stair marathon site.  I've been running long distances on stairs for approximately 16.5 years.  I train at the H. M. Tory Building at the University of Alberta, where I’ve run over 35,000 laps.  I'm vegan and straight-edge (no junk food, no stimulants, no alcohol, no smoking, and no drugs, ever.)

    I have a cadence greater than all of the existing world record holders, while running much longer distances.
