> because the scenery changes so damn slowly around you Have you considered running faster? But seriously though, I’ve gotten pretty decent at running (3h15min marathon PR) and the difference between hiking a trail and running the same trail is kinda bonkers. These days I can run a trail in 2 hours that took me 6 hours to hike 10 years ago. Hits totally different. The whole dynamic changes. Hiking feels immensely boring now PS: If you run fast enough you don’t even notice the scenery.
