  Are there any negative effects to running stairs, (not climbin slowly but actually running) as a form of excercise. now with the haze it's very bad to go out n run or jog so now im trying to run like 25 storeys per day (up only not up and down). will it damage the knees or cause strain in the legs or cause any problem when i grow older? or will it restrict growth or something

  hmm.
  running up should be ok as long as u do warm up.
  but running down is a different story though.

  jogging or running up the stairs are both cardio exercises...if ur concern is the haze...then U shouldnt be doing either one.
