      Taylor delays her videos by at least 5 days. That means she's about 100 miles ahead of where she is in the current video that she posts. Quicksand though posting the day after hasn't been posting as often currently so it's hard to tell exactly where he is. He's somewhere near Pearisburg now. Taylor although in that area in this video that was days ago. She is way ahead of Quicksand and Hawk. Both Hawk and Quicksand aren't pushing the miles anymore because they have done the trail many times and don't feel the need. First time hikers are more prone to doing that.

      @@frolege1 I've never had that much energy - ever. I didn't do sports in high school and was a little overweight (due to only babysitting and eating junk food at their houses) but exercised (gym/aerobics) off and on when I was in my 20's, 30's, 40's, and 60's (prepping for a section hike). I'm going to try it again but can't imagine that I can ever do a 20 mile day. I'll be satisfied with 15 mile days. Think that is achievable. One thing is that sugar (I've never eaten a lot of that) does not give me the spurt of energy that it seems to give others. My energy is just slow and steady but goes on for a long time. I don't crash at the end. I find it weird that others crash after pushing so hard for so long. Just different bodies and different ways they preform I guess. (I've studied this and diets extensively over the years).

    Taylor if you read this ignore the peasants talking crap they consistently do nothing with their lives & you're doing an awesome job and crushing those miles you'll be done in no time. As a local New Hampshire hiking/exercise enthusiast I can say that you have people back home rooting for you and that you're an inspiration 💪🏼 I've never paid to support any person or pages before this one but I think you deserve it because you're doing something not many people do, and something I hope to do in the next few years & would hope that people would support me too. Your videos are great your narration is pleasant to listen to and your tenacity is amazing don't stop for anything & keep up the good work 🙏🏼 hope to meet someone like you to come along on my travels some day, good luck with today's miles. #happytrails

      @@SeniorHiker77 TBH, I'm really joking here. I know exercise (hiking) is addictive so I totally understand her pushing the big miles. I used to walk on the treadmill at PF trying to prepare myself for a section hike. I started out doing 3 miles every day (at the steepest incline 15%) and worked up to 3 mph so it took one hour. A couple of times just before I hiked I did 7 miles at the 15% incline and faster than the 3mph at times (I would increase it and then slow it to 3 mph). It took 2 hours to walk the 7 miles. This was with a backpack with 20lbs of weight in it. Exercise is really addictive and you push yourself to do more and work harder the longer you exercise. At least that is what happens to me. I'm sure that is why Taylor pushes herself to do 26 - 30 mile days sometimes. It's rewarding to actually achieve those miles.
