Great job and what beautiful scenery. It isn't mountain running in pine forests but it is pretty. Downhill is much harder on the legs, and it's good to hear you have a plan to overcome that problem. It makes sense to takes shorter steps and keep your legs under your center of gravity. I've never done mountain running only hiking/mountain climbing when I was younger. The downward portion is always the hardest!

Glad you put in such a great run with so much elevation gain. If you keep this up yo should be ready for those Swiss mountains in time for the race, it should be beautiful and fun!
