I know people my age (41) who can do those kind of miles - with packs - especially in "easier" country like the AT. They also run daily, do marathons, and are hardcore fitness buffs as well as very serious backpackers.

So yes, it is doable, but depends on the person.

I am not such a person smile I don't run in church wink
