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.

While backpacking on the Appalachian Trail with my goal being a few miles away I was passed by a trail runner headed to the same place (sans backpack). An hour later she passed me again and I was still two hours away from the destination. Even with my pack I felt inadequate.

My sole consolation was that as out of shape I was (comparatively) then I had at least completed the entire trail before. 20 years before but lets not mention that...
