Yes Wa'il, 9 flights is a lot.
I always take the stairs DOWN, unless I have a load to carry. A couple weeks ago, I was on my way down, and as I rounded the landing between the 7th and 8th floor, this guy was sitting there, hunched over, his head between his knees. I asked if he was ok, and he just said,"I'm never taking the %&$#~ stairs up again!" And he was skinny
I do stair-climbing when the weather is too crappy to go outdoors. What I do though, is take one flight up then briskly walk the length of the hall to the stairs at the other end (I'm in a long building so it's quite a walk), then another flight up and so on ... it's just enough of a break in between.
You have much more strength than I .. you might try going up two or three flights at a time, then a floor-walk etc, etc
Just a thought
