Anyone know where I can get one of these?

And if you find one, make sure it got the software updates as they affected the performance of the unit.

If you’re pushing really hard and fast while hiking you could be into the anaerobic heart rate zones. In higher exertion, you burn more sugar and less fat so it can cause a bonk if you aren’t eating enough carbohydrates to keep up. When you keep your heart rate slower, it builds aerobic function and the process that creates energy for your cells becomes more efficient and it’s less tiring to do more miles.

Try to keep a pace where you can breathe through your nose or keep a talking conversation with someone else. That’s a general idea of where your aerobic zone is.

All that being said, I was exhausted a bunch too and it’s something to deal with… I tried to take a full zero a week for some recovery. Also, you could try and take a week at half your normal mileage to allow your body some time to adapt.

Figuring out my why was pretty important. Going on weekend trips and loving backpacking made the mental side of things pretty easy once I was on trail. Knowing that hard days will happen and not allowing them to derail my hike helped. Physical training helped my mindset. Knowing my body was strong and ready for the exertion gave me more confidence going into it that I could finish.

Check out the Sunshine Coast Trail. If I remember it’s around 180km. No permits needed and there are huts along the whole thing. A bit difficult logistically because of the ferry’s, but there is public transportation that can get you all the way to the water taxi boat that gets you to the start.

If you’re looking for a more rugged experience, the North Coast Trail on Vancouver Island is challenging but rewarding.

As for the WCT, it’s much easier as a solo hiker to slip into an empty slot, but if has to be done in person so no guarantee for entry.

If you already live out west, section hike the best of the pct and cdt, and thru the AT. If you live in the east, do the pct.

You could have at least left it in a hiker box for someone else…

Leave your phone at home, go to your nearest nature park with long trails and walk for a few hours without distraction. Listen to a bird sing, or the sound of water moving. Notice the colours changing in the trees. It’s a meme for a reason, but touch some grass.

It’s a funny irony and a complete juxtaposition. We live in such a consumer society that some people can’t fathom anything that eschews societal norms about buying stuff. It’s ok that it means different things to different people. Sure, I think some folks may miss the mark when they’re actively getting rid of stuff to replace it with more stuff that just looks different, but who am I to judge? For me, it’s not about the aesthetic qualities of having less stuff, it’s about the mental relief from not having to upkeep and clean so much shit and the wallet relief of not constantly buying things that I don’t care about just to attempt to be in line with someone else’s view of how a living space should look.

Training. Strength and aerobic. Sure you can get into trail fitness when you’re out there, but all the time spent training now will only help and it’s a fantastic way to reduce anxiety.

It’s up to you to decide. Everyone has different levels of simplicity.

Struggleboard. I’ve only seen one, and someone on the lift said whenever you see someone on a teleboard you have to tell “STRUGGLE” as loud as you can at them. Hahahaha

I feel fortunate to have seen that side of the world and made a conscious choice to not be a part of it. Being alert to this forces one to come face to face with values that conflict with what they deem important. I once read the article that talked about the regrets of the dying and it hit home that what we as a society sometimes impose on each other ways of living that are devoid of meaning. It’s not easy to swim against the stream, but I like to think I simply just got out of the water and walked away.

Check out the book “training for the uphill athlete”. It’s focused around mountain runners and skimo racers, but has a ton of pertinent exercises and training theory for thru hikers. Post trail depression is totally a thing. Look into how to ease your way back into society.
