EP 104 How To Hike Big Miles

I never thought in a million years I’d ever be one to hike 20-30 miles in a single day. Those numbers are daunting if you’ve never done it and having felt the pain that can come from a 10 mile day I figured doubling or tripling that number was a feat I’d never be able to do. As it turns out, I CAN do big miles because I put into practice a specific process that works for me.

On this episode, I’m going to dive in to my process for hiking big miles. From start to finish, I’ll walk you through my approach and even cove the benefits of hiking so many miles in a single day.

If you dream of hiking a long trail or want to pack in more miles, more views, and more experiences into your weekend trips, this episode is for you!
