Helix Parkrun #86 with Hanna. A nice steady one after getting back late from holiday last night.

Warm up round the pitch at Grangemouth High School with some strides. Pre-warm up warm up was football!

Sprint Scotland Race 3 - Grangemouth
Wondered how it would go after 2 weeks of hills and no speed! Overall pleased with run and enjoyed it. Only two notable mistakes, started running south out of #6 for a few seconds then changed my mind and went north. North maybe slightly better but some time lost by changing decision. Also ran north from #16 into the dead end so at least 10secs wasted. Maybe didn't always take the fastest option but ran as committed as possible which is probably better than studying the map more. HR suggested a hard run, highest Max HR I've had in a long time! Again, must do more sprint/urban, just need the locarions and dates to work out a bit better which they haven't done this year. Good fun to be in amongst a competitive group of MVs, only need Ray to get fixed. Also time to get SI Air when the competition is so close!

Pre-breakfast run up the zig zags to Hexenwasser (33.40), then down by Stocklalm. Quite tired so took it easy on the descent in particular. Overcast and raining for first 20mins

Took gondola up to Hohe Salve then walked down to Rigi in the mist then traversed round to Keitalm. Last nice family walk of the hols. Pleasantly cool.

Ran up to Filzalmsee doing the initial climb to the Land Rover track hard (38.50). Ran back via Hexenwasser and ran the zig zag descent fast. Warm but not too bad as plenty shade. Feeling a bit fitter.

Runnable climb to Stocklalm then steep to the Simonalm high point. Descended back to Stocklalm via Hexenwasser then back the runnable descent. Took it as easy as possible though running the whole way. Sunny and warm out the shade. Legs a little nippy after yesterday but OK.

Took the chairlift to Keitalm then walked to the Filzalmsee for a play. Walked back to Hexenwasser via Silleralm. One of the best days out, really enjoyed it.

Run from the hotel to the cross on Brandstadl and back direct via Hirshleralm. Main part of the climb very steep up through woods and a couple of meadows. Worked hard the whole way up, had to walk much of the steepest stuff. Descent was tricky in places, gravelly & tree roots, and very steep. Took it fairly steady, tried to avoid braking. Sunny but shaded in the trees. Great run, tough!

Walk from Kaiserwelt to Ellmis Zauberwelt and back with T & H.

Ran up the Filtzalmsee valley to the cow meadow then tried new route up to the Silleralm. Wasn't great, last bit was up a steep field with boggy bits. Rest of run really nice! Descended via Hexenwasser zig zags.

Just a short walk round a loop at the top of the Brandstadl in between the heavy showers.

Run up the zip zag to Hexenwasser (33.15) then up to Simonalm before descending the runnable way down by Stocklalm. Same route as first run, 1min quicker and 3bpm so must at least be getting a little bit fitter!

Walk round the Hintersteiner See then down to Blocking via Seebach with T & H. Hanna now got the hiking medal she was aiming for. Nice route.
