"No, although I've done many days of more than 18 miles in the mountains, including 50 mile single-day mountain races."

"Most hikers carry only enough food for 3 to 5 days at a time, and resupply along the way"

Unsupported. I did't see if the original was unsupported - can't imagine carrying 30 days food. Even the PR1M I've used is pretty heavy. [0] Possible but you'd strip out all but the useful food. With re-supplies, do they have access to water?

"lower level of intensity."

Totally agree with this. Still hard yards.

But 2.25 miles per hour is not fast. And you get 16hours to rest.
