Appalachian Trail record

[cory]

A guy is trying to beat the AT speed record, he's gotta average about 50 miles a day to get it. Pretty cool and amazing. whereskarl.com

I was on the summit of Mount Washington here in NH two weeks ago, and saw part of the AP from the presidential range. That is one rugged trail.

I bet that guy would make a good brush monkey!

they didnt believe in switch backs back when they built that trail. only when absolutely necessary. the trails out west are much milder though the mountains are taller.

Re: Appalachian Trail record

Didnt know that...interesting.

I ran 2 miles last nite in the rain on a track....felt great but sure made me wonder about running 40+ per day....it is pretty insane.

On his site, they talk about a number of diff people who have run across the USA.
