46 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes
She needed to average at least 46 miles per day to set the new all-comer’s record, and frequently covered between 50 and 60 miles per day as she walked from around 5 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. each day.
WOW! :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

Any news for real trails, such as the PCT, the CDT, or the AZT? ;)

Who brings a pregnancy test kit with them on a hike?
After hiking from 5am to 9:30p everyday, I'd be too pooped for a little nookie

The AT actually has more AEG than the PCT or CDT (I wish I could find the numbers now), with much less use of switchbacks.
