I'm training for the Swiss Alpine 2011 mountain marathon in Davos, Switzerland. Here's what I'm doing to train for the race and what i think about it.

This is the last 20km of the Jungfrau Marathon plus a peak at the end, essentially the high point is the start of the mountaineering route going up the west flank of the Eiger.
Almost to the final pass heading down to Linthal, excellent mountain panorama

The Ortstock above Braunwald, weather was moving in and I didn’t have time to run up it before it got dark. Training for the Junfrau Marathon.
Running around Braunwald in Switzerland getting ready for the Junfrau Marathon. The dirt trail turned to grass and then the old remnants of the glaciers. My Salomon XR Crossmax were great.

Now that the SwissAlpine K42 is over I decided to explore running around Braunwald. The Glarus-Linthal region will be my main area getting ready for the Jungfrau Marathon on Sept. 10th.
