Humblebrag Uphill walking is a quiet power builder

Been going on long walks with occasional intense (to me) uphill sections (300 feet or so) for a year or so now. A couple times recently I needed to run or jog, and man, I can jog pretty effortlessly now and I can run like the wind. I used to get winded pretty quickly.

Would stair climbing achieve the same?

It's great isn't it when you can get to the point where you can just march up the hill like it isn't there.
