Picking up where I left up last week at CP 1 (22.3km point) at 浅間峠, I kinda wish I did more of the trail last week. Ended up finishing at the 58km point at 御岳山.
From the bus stop at 上川乗, it was a 2.5km uphill warmup to 浅間峠. Soon after, it was more or less uphill till 三頭山(1531m) which took about 2hrs and a bit.
From 三頭山, it was mostly downhill or flat. Downhill, there are a lot of different trails and mistakenly, I took the wrong trail. Didnt realize my mistake until about 20mins later but luckily, there was another trail that eventually took me back on the right track.
The trail is nice and wide and the downhill/flat bits are very runnable possibly even at night. The rest of the trail to 御岳山 included some two other mountains 御前山 (1405m) and 大岳山(1267m).
Overall, did about 40km total averaging about 5km a hour. I think I could have ran a bit faster on the downhill/flat bits but didnt want to push my legs anymore (cycled about 300km on Sat & Sun). I may do one more session to check out the last 13.5km of the trail.
