Let me add a personal experience: Sometimes when I hike for 15 miles, I feel more exhausted than after a 15 mile run in some ways (even with similar altitude levels). The reason is that running and hiking do target (slightly) different muscle groups. So your level of muscle adaption can vary. Secondly, running for 15 miles (2 hours) leaves you with free recovery time while walking 15 miles takes around 4-5 hours. That might also let the runner feel more energized after the 15 miles. | |
