What Hiking 6,592 Miles Does To The Body

I hiked 6,592 miles around the coast of Great Britain in 385 days. I wanted the challenge, and I pushed myself. My body changed, and endured. Hiking 20–30 mile (30–50km) days or more in all weather and seasons took its toll, especially in the pathless wilderness of the Scottish west coast. Before I started, I was afraid of old injuries reoccurring. On wet winter days, or when I pushed myself, my tibia would ache where it fractured a year before, my right leg tightened as the walk went on and something like sciatica would catch me off guard. My feet hurt from the impact for 9 months, then suddenly adapted. <a href="https://medium.com/@write_errant/what-hiking-6-592-miles-does-to-the-body-19d73a86a095">Website</a>
