Outside & Zaden

So, Outside, you’ve mapped some killer trails for the serious fitness crowd. I’m looking to push my limits on a 100‑mile route—got any recommendations that’ll really test endurance and mental grit?
Outside
Sounds like a real challenge – aim for the John Muir Trail’s full stretch or the West Coast Trail in BC. Both run around 100 miles, steep climbs, and wind‑tossed bluffs that will push you mentally as well as physically. If you’re into more backcountry, try a 100‑mile loop along the Continental Divide in Colorado – the high altitude and rugged terrain will really test your limits. Pack light, stay hydrated, and keep a steady pace – the hardest part is usually when the trail gets quiet and you’re the only one left in the valley. Good luck, and enjoy the climb!

Nice picks, outside. Those trails will hit you hard – make sure you’ve built up solid base cardio and strength before you hit them. Keep the pacing steady, trust your nutrition plan, and don’t let that quiet valley test your mental game. You’re ready to crush it. Good luck.

Glad you’re up for it – just keep your breathing steady, listen to your body, and treat every ridge like a mini checkpoint. Trust the gear you’ve packed, and when the trail gets quiet, use that time to regroup and remind yourself why you’re there. You’ve got this, champ. Happy trails!

Thanks, outside. I’ll keep that in mind – breathing, gear, mental checkpoints. You’ve got my back on this. Happy trails to you too.
