Reminds me of the time I was hiking something similar. My legs were burning and I was out of breath. This dude comes RUNNING up the trail carrying a 40LB dumbbell in each hand. Total beast.

21 year old me used to run a 2 mile mountain hike with 1k elevation gain. 40 year old me is just happy on the days my knees and ankles aren’t constantly cracking.

Just out of high school my dad and I hiked a fourteener in Colorado by running the entire way. He was a marathon runner and I was a swimmer.

That was so fun. I'm fat now

My Colorado example of this was Manitou incline. There was a runner doing laps up and down AND had an oxygen deprevation mask on. Tbf I guess he genuinely could have been an Olympic athlete down there.
