Run up to Cockleroi and back from the house. Legs felt quite good. Nice bright, breezy morning. Horrible to be running on tarmac again in the town.

Nice walk round Muiravonside with T & H

Last run of the hols. Pre-breakfast run up the zig-zags to Kohlmais middle station then a loop up the lower part of Montelino to about 1540m, then descent back down longer way. Poured with rain and distinctly cool, but still enjoyed it. Significant delays due to cows, walked a few sections. Going to miss running up a hill every day!

Walk round Berg Kodok

Run from the hotel up the zig zags to the Bernkogel shoulder, across the reservoir to the Wetterkreuz, up the Reiterkogel, then along the ridge and down to Berg Kodok to meet T & H. Great run in the sun with fantastic views. Had to stop for a moment at the top of the Reiterkogel to take it all in. Back to sunny Scotland tomorrow! Note - Garmin expected 10k down to 47mins. Running about Alps not good for fitness!

Garmin watch now thinks I'm a lot less fit due to all these slow runs at a high HR. Vo2 max down to 49 and 10k predictor at 44mins!

Run from the hotel up to Hinterglemm then up to the Zwolferkogel top station to meet T & H. All uphill albeit very gradual at first. Quite tough though kept the effort steady using the HRM. Sun beating down on the top half of the climb.

Walked from the Kohlmaiskopf to the hotel via the Spielberghaus with T & H. 800m descent with virtually no climb. Overcast with showers though dried up towards the end.

Ran from the hotel up the Bernkogel via the runnable zig-zags and back. Steady climb and briskish descent. Sun came out but ok conditions. Legs not that fresh!

Walked with T & H up to Lindlingalm, then a nice loop at the end of the valley via Ossmannalm before returning to Lengau. Lovely walk in the sun. Legs felt fine after yesterday but decided to not bother going a run.

Decided to have a go at the Saalbach seven summits route from the Schattberg East top over the Stemmerkogel, Hochkogel, Hochsaalbachkogel, Barensteigkogel, Manlitzkogel, Mittagskogel, and the Geisstein, finishing at Lindlingsalm. Set off steady on a sunny blue sky morning using the HRM to keep the pace controlled as knew it would be a long way (for me these days!). A great route with some challenging bits. Last descent was a lot tougher than expected, pretty rough and tricky going, so took a little longer than expected. Easy day or rest tomorrow, legs may be feeling the nearly 8000ft of descent!
