Workout

Warm up 5 min easy jog or brisk walk, then 8 x 30-40 sec brisk stair climbs, driving through the whole foot, walk down to recover. Two steps at a time on the final 2-3 climbs if it feels strong. Finish with 5 min easy.

Notes

Direct preparation for run-ups and stair sections at race speed. First off-bike intensity at altitude will feel harder; that is oxygen, not fitness. Stop at any ankle, calf, or SI complaint.
