To the east, the D1090 comically squiggles up to the ski resort of La Rosi\u00e8re, while to the south the D119 switchbacks its way to the various heights of Les Arcs, more custom-built ski resorts. I eyeballed the La Rosi\u00e8re route for a while. From here it&#8217;s a marathon: 13 miles uphill, then and 13 miles back down. I **might** just make it, but **might** then be too broken to properly get up the much-steeper\/high altitude Zermatt Half Marathon next weekend. So I copped out and ran up to Arc 1800 instead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29540\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29540\" class=\"size-large wp-image-29540\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111954598_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Up to Arc 1800.

Back in my 20&#8217;s I always made sure I ate a couple of hours before a longish run, but I&#8217;ve now taken to doing these runs on an empty stomach, so no need to be up eating at 7am. I&#8217;m also avoiding using gels, energy drinks or other sugary stuff, in an attempt to get my body used to powering itself with fat, in preference to sugar, and that *seems* to be working well too. I&#8217;m just carrying my phone (with maps.me installed in case I get lost), a litre or a so of water, some figs (which I don&#8217;t usually eat), and some warmer clothing (in case I have to sit or walk).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29541\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29541\" class=\"size-large wp-image-29541\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111835790_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The view down over Bourg-Saint-Maurice on the way up to Les Arcs\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111835790_HDR.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111835790_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111835790_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111835790_HDR-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view down over Bourg-Saint-Maurice on the way up to Les Arcs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The training&#8217;s about maxed out now, having now done five mountain half marathons in the past couple of weeks, including <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/running-up-the-col-du-galibier-slowly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">running up the Col du Galibier<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/running-high-up-the-col-de-iiseran-french-alps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Col de L&#8217;Iseran<\/a>, and I could feel it on the run yesterday. Unlike those earlier runs, the road up to Les Arcs is mostly in forest, so the mind-blowing vistas are missing, replaced with thundering lorries carrying building materials up to the resorts, or bringing logs back down into the valley. Being a busy resort road, it&#8217;s easily wide enough for a couple of coaches to pass, so not an issue in that respect: there are no tunnels, or narrow cliff sections. Nope, it&#8217;s just a steady plod up through the trees with occasional views over the town and villages below, and Mont Blanc in the distance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29542\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29542\" class=\"size-large wp-image-29542\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111005542_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A distant Mont Blanc from the road to Les Arcs\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111005542_HDR.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111005542_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111005542_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180626_111005542_HDR-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A distant Mont Blanc from the road to Les Arcs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With just a single cyclist for company, it was a lonely 9 miles up to the Arc 1800 resort, a steady 6% to 7% all the way.
