r/grousegrind

I’m planning to do the Grouse Grind and want to use the StairMaster at the gym to train for it.

For those who’ve done the Grind before:

How many StairMaster steps/minutes would you consider equivalent to one Grouse Grind?

What StairMaster level do you typically use for training?

Is aiming for ~2,830 steps a reasonable benchmark, given that the Grind has ~800 m of elevation gain?

Any recommended StairMaster workout/progression for preparing for the Grind?

Would love to hear from people who have done the Grouse Grind and also train on the StairMaster.
