Used to power through 20 mile days. Now I stop at 12.
Last summer on the Long Trail I hit a wall. Knees screaming, feet blistered. This older guy camped next to me said, 'Why are you racing a trail?' That stuck. Now I plan shorter days. More time for swimming holes and sunsets. Anyone else slow down as they got older?

Pack a lighter pack. Your knees will thank you.

Forget the pack weight, it's usually your boots that cause the real knee pain.
