This guide is the result of combining Highspirit's guide [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GaKrQcKH86wGOen_rPulDxX2Ugkklgttwsk1F6ba3uc found here] along with strategies used by user aoiro_kuroaka as well as new ones developed by myself. The first draft was completed on October 12, 2019. This guide may still change periodically as it's the main guide I use for running. Changes will likely be pretty minimal though as the route is already pretty well established.

This guide is the result of combining Highspirit's guide found here along with strategies used by user aoiro_kuroaka as well as new ones developed by myself. The first draft was completed on October 12, 2019. This guide may still change periodically as it's the main guide I use for running. Changes will likely be pretty minimal though as the route is already pretty well established.
