Weather and time combined to allow a mid week Ben run. Arrived at Rowadennen at 6 and set off up the tourist path, most folk coming down at this time, passed one walker just after the bad step, not so bad now with the path improvements. Steady/easy running all the way, concentrating on keeping heart rate and breathing under control. A runner passed on their way down just as I reached the summit ridge. Not much to see from the top in the Bens cloudy cap. Turned and set off down, no rush a nice steady run, passed the walker near the top, making good time, only a few hundred yards behind me.
Onto the plateau and out the cloud, stayed on the path all the way ignoring the race route options. Arriving at the car park in just over 2 hours as the runner I had passed near the top set off on a second ascent. The fast walker arriving 10 or 15 minutes later.
