First run in Arrochar this year round undulating Glen Loin. Set off anti clockwise in grey damp conditions but the rain stayed away and a weak sun poked its nose out later on the long downhill run back out the Glen.
Managed to run all the hills to make this short outing a bit tougher. Although running on tired legs still felt some energy to spare on the ups and recovery was reasonably quick with only short walking breaks after each hill.
Wore my new bargain inov8 Mist 210 jacket, kept the wind out but a bit damp inside the ripstop nylon. Packs down really small into its own bumbag with room for compass, whistle & waterproof trousers so should come in handy for hill race kit.
Although relatively close to civilisation Glen Loin still supplies a nice sense of away from it all and even better today with the mountains all round covered in snow. Another bonus was in contrast to Fridays run over Stoneymollen managing to keep my feet dry and warm. Mizuno trail shoes feeling more comfortable as well.
About 11 miles in just under 2 hours.
