Even relatively close I worried about that. Once I took a good tumble but was OK, I stopped running on trails.
The longest hike we’ve ever done in one go was on accident. Took a left when we should have taken a right at a fork (or maybe the other way around) and we wound up doing 14 miles instead of 8 while in a state park east of here.
We had plenty of water and all that, but still…
In 2014 we did a ranger-guided thing in Yosemite to different High Sierra camps. I believe the total miles for the trip was 45 in one big loop over 5 days at altitude. My dogs were barkin’ after that.
