Post-grad run 6 - the north face of the Eiger

[telford_mike]

The mountains where we live do have a few relatively flat bits where you can run when it’s too hot down in the valley. Today is such a day, and I find myself dodging cows up in the hills. The downhill bits are great, but going up feels like climbing the famous North face. I was surprised when Garmin Connect told me I'd broken my record for a 1km split during this run - must have been a long downhill section 😂

That pointy mountain to the left of Mrs t_m is the actual Eiger however, and I won’t be running up there any time soon.

You run in the best places! So jealous! Have been on the train through the Eiger. Such a wonderful area!

Hi Ang, yes I've done it once, bit too expensive to do it regularly!

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

My husband got sick at the top because of the altitude! Amazing views though. Love mountains!

[telford_mike Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

They actually have sick bags on the train now! 😂

When I read your title I thought you had run up it

Well done you... a super run and a great pikkie too

Well done! I thought it was hilly enough in East Sussex but your mountains trump that big time! Adore Switzerland, used to live there and hope we will return sometime. Which part are you in 🇨🇭

[telford_mike Graduate in reply to Designbod]

We're in Wengen in the Bernese Oberland. It certainly is hilly!

[Designbod Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Such a beautiful area. Definitely not easy to run there but you'll be super fit with the altitude!

[Myrar Graduate]

Oh looks lovely ...Well done 😊
