Manny Pacquiao is using his new training ground -- UCLA's track -- in more ways than one. Earlier this week, when his trainer, Freddie Roach, told Philboxing.com that Pacquiao no longer needed to run hills and would therefore be training at UCLA's track instead of Griffith Park, most figured Pacquiao would be using the track to build up his speed.
But based on the video posted to his Instagram page, Pacquiao is utilizing more than just the track.
Hard training on the stairs. Thank you Lord!

When the news broke regarding the switch in Pacquiao's training location, his strength and conditioning coach, Justin Fortune, cited UCLA's "equipment, facilities, gadgets and other components," as the reason for the change in plans.
"UCLA definitely compensates what Griffith cannot," Fortune said at the time.
A video posted on Wednesday confirmed Pacquiao's use of the track.
Morning jogging thank you Lord.

But now, it appears they've swapped out the hills for the stadium stairs.
