Wow! Want a job?
Curiously what sort of terrain do you frequent? I am in the Eastern Sierras, where from any trail head you can expect 500 - 1200 feet of elevation gain per mile. At 3.5 mph with a load, I'm spanked after 5 hours. However, my endurance athlete colleagues will do that then go bag a couple peaks after lunch. The human body is really amazing.
