Taking more than one step at a time is anerobic, so you burn out sooner. Key is using the handrails.

And what is the most efficent way of getting up the stairs? One step at a time or two, hmmm.

Your college must have sucked at athletics.

When I was in college, members of some of the sports teams had to run up the stairs in the tallest of the dormitory buildings as part of their training. These young, well-conditioned athletes considered the stair run a brutal and exhausting part of their training. The building in question was ten stories high, in other words one-tenth of the ESB.
