I'm highly considering walking home to Arkansas from Spokane, WA after I retire from the military next summer. Not sure why. I just want to do it.
Looks to be about 1800 miles.

300 miles in 25 mile days.
The part that sucks the most is trying to keep your mind occupied for long stretches at a time.
The scenery will be beautiful, but you get bored quickly.

And here I was about to be proud of a 22 mile day in Glacier NP

I walked home about 5 miles one time because I got in a fight with my wife. Pre smart phone days. I think that's about it

I've done sections of the PCT and AT, no more than 300 a piece. I'd like to finish both on a thru-hike, and maybe to the ICT, but that one is by far the hardest.

Just hike the Appalachian Trail. Walking along highways is no way to hike.

Got caught on the primitive trail a Clark creek without knowing how long it was. This was after drinking absinthe and smoking ungodly amounts of weed. Longest 8 miles of my life.

Backpacking the Timberline Trail around Mt Hood in Oregon. Roughly 44 miles. Took 4 days and 3 nights.

Over multiple days, 100 miles.
In one day 20 miles in Nicaragua and Honduras.
Sandanistas. Crossed paths where they had never seen white folk.

Did about 50 miles elk hunting last year. Was 6-7 days overall though. Only thing that sucked was the elevation.

Backpacking like 11 miles or something of the such. Like execising it would probably be 20 miles in a day when I was training for the world cup.

About 2700 miles from Jacksonville to San Diego. I'm doing the AT in 2024. It's just shy of 2200 miles.

26.2

Not sure how many miles it came out to be be total, but did most of the trails around Lake Louise in a single day.
At many points, I almost accepted death. That elevation had me praying to be back at sea level.
Pic from top of "Big Beehive Trail". Elevation gain from the Lake itself is 1755 feet.

I ran 26.2 miles, does that count? Also, I swam 5 miles straight in open water.

30 miles in a day several times in the 82nd.
