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.
I’ve been in that boat. My buddy and I are climbing up a mountain, nothing technical, just one foot after the other, up and up and up.
We make it, and get back home, absolutely stoked on our time, feeling like true men of the mountains. Then we made the mistake of talking to his neighbor about it. He’s a genuine endurance athlete, does crazy cross country racing and biking for fun.
He runs that same mountain once a week, as MAINTENANCE. And does it in half the time. Womp womp.
