Yes, it was amazing. We built up the length and challenge quite nicely. A short, flatt-ish run on Thursday. Our Friday run was over a pass to St Germain and up Bettex for the Tdf. Saturday we did a trail route within the forest with some more technical descending. The final proper run was billled as 'if you only do one route in Chamonix do this one' by the guidebook and it was excellent: up to le signal (about 6 minutes slower than Kilian Jornet does it), then along to the Refuge du Plan de l'Aiguille and down just over 1000m. I had pretty tingly hands and feet by the end of that one.
It was a great holiday, running in the morning and watching cycling or sightseeing in the afternoon / evening. A total ascent of about 4000m so just under 1000m per run.
I'm struggling to upload any pictures.
