[pct-l] Hiking and Running

[mgeis@yahoo.com (Matt Geis)]

It depends how your body handles the hike.  Everyone
is different.  My knees were hammered by the hike, and
I was unable to run after the hike.  By contrast,
another hiker actually ran two miles a day, every day,
before hiking.

There are no absolutes, but I would say that odds are
you'll lose a bit, unless you actually run during the
hike.  Hiking and running are very different.
