Daniel:

The stair machine ME workouts work best with mountaineers.  The tempo is too slow for runners.  And you need the impact training that comes from the jumping exercises and the eccentric contractions in the gym ME progression I have laid out in the article by the same name on this site.  I would suggest implementing that protocol.  I think you will be very surprised by the fatigue resistance this build in your legs.  I have used this to very good effect with hundreds of runners including the 3rd place finisher at UTMB this year.
