In my experience hiking effort is highly nonlinear. Up to 500 vertical feet per mile there's a pretty linear relationship between distance and elevation, where 1000 vertical feet = 1 mile of hiking, but somewhere around 750 vertical feet per mile that relationship breaks down and it's far more exhausting to climb faster.
I'm working to get healthy enough to get back onto the trail again. John
Great essay, Jer 6.16… blessings brother
This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Thanks for adding this to my post! You read quite swiftly!

You are more advanced than me and yet I have discovered the same! Keep hiking and keep looking for divine glory!
I thought you would appreciate a detailed analysis backing up your intuitive discovery :)
you've read my mind and know my needs.
