I know exactly how you felt. In 2015 I rolled an ankle on the GR5 in the French Alps and had to hike about 15 km to the next town; most of which was down a very large mountain. By the time I got to the town campsite the pain had radiated all the way up to my knee, and I was in tears. I took 2 zero days and hobbled into town to get an ankle support from the pharmacy, then pushed on. I managed to go the week and a half to Nice, France but couldn't get to my final destination of Malaga Spain because of the injury. It was an epic trip with only the one incident.

Hey Kyle. As a sports medicine doctor and a fellow injured hiker, I hope things are getting better. Hope the running didn't set you up for a stress fracture, but I would think you would have noticed something towards the end of your running program. Two weeks and still problems means see a reputable orthopedic doc to be safe.

So I've never been a true hiker like you, never hiked the AT or any other "recognized" trails, but I have done 2 "unrecognized" trails. When I was young, I hiked into the Great Dismal Swamp, following the ditch that had been surveyed by our first president, Mr. Washington. It's all flat terrain, about 10 miles to "Lake Drummond", and 10 miles back, the humor coming from the fact that Mr. Washington, himself a young surveyor at the time, had his angle off just a little bit and his drainage ditch barely catches the edge of the lake. The other very short hike was a few years back around the lake at the foot of Table Rock State park in SC, which was about 2 or 3miles long, pretty much level terrain, but at 60 years old I did manage to do it. If I had an injured foot, I would have been in trouble. Glad you made it back in one piece.

That intro segment hit me hard, tbh. That exact same thing happened to me last year. I planned on hiking the tallest peak in Southern California (San Gorgonio), for Father's Day; and the first half of it went incredibly well, but on the way down, somehow, I injured both of my knees terribly. I ended up limping for about 9 miles down the mountain (It took around 6 hours). Over a year later, and my knees are still not the same, I need knee braces whenever I go hiking now. But hey, I succeeded! Hahaha

I hear that - years back when I was going up Mt. Washington, NH, I heard a "pop" in my right knee when I was about halfway up the summit cone on Tuckerman Ravine. I descended Tuckerman from the summit, and was in extreme pain on the descent. If i didn't have trekking poles, I would've been crawling (literally). As it was, I was contemplating crawling the last 1/4 mile back to Pinkham Notch as it was that bad, and a few times I stepped wrong (I averaged less than 1 mph for the descent from the summit as I could barely walk) and immediately fell down on the ground. For a few years afterward, I had to hike with a knee brace as it would always flare up going up/down mountains.

I dont know if you ended up figuring out what caused the foot injury, however i will add that i experienced my first foot injury in 39 years and after a 50mile foot race. I attributed it to my topo shoes which are very similar to your altra's. Zero drop shoes work well with ascents and descents, not so great on flats. Ive learned to alternate shoes depending on terrain. My chosen brand is hoka's for flat. Hope this was insightful.

Kyle man. I love the new podcast Trail Tails. I actually listen to it at night when Im camping in my hammock so i don't hear the wild animals that are walking around me looking at the floating blue breakfast burrito. So to be honest at the point of discovering your injury I would have turned around taking a Zero for the episode. Especially if someone wasn't with me. 20 miles back to the car pre injury is safer than 30 miles mid injury. The video could have been a lesson on how most trips never turn out as planned. However, in the famous words of Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard "Its not an adventure, until something goes wrong." I've solo backpacked only a couple times and the reason is I'm too paranoid of injury and bears. I was hammock camping right next to a river in the Sequoias and heard something actually walking in the river. Not a squirrel, or a little bird but something big enough to be splashing the water. Never again. So giving advise to an experienced solo hiker is a little daunting however as the king of whats the worst that could happen, here are some things I suggest for every solo hiker should utilize is variable conditions. I bring multiple dehydrated meals but only bring one original boil bag. I take the other meals and put them in lightweight ziplock bags so I can portion how hungry I am eliminating left overs and food waste. Then I just keep washing and reusing the same primary bag. You're saving about 13 grams x every dehydrated meal of just bag to carry out. I sealed a half eaten Mountain House Pad Thai one night and when I opened it up in the morning it smelled like a Yak had died in it. Not that I've smelled a dead Yak before but I assume it would have the same consistency in foulness. BTW the Pad Thai is amazing though. 1st place is the Pakit Gourmet All American Works Burger. It's legit. Not a sponsored suggestion......but wish it was. @pakitgourmet Bring a lightweight ankle brace. It may not have helped on this one but hiking solo or with a friend you never know.That extra weight for the brace seems justifiable and would come in clutch when you needed it the most. I backpacked Coyote Gulch in Utah for my 3rd time and with about 30 river crossings bringing a pair of 1mm neoprene socks was clutch especially in the rain. At least keeps your feet warm. I purchased the Hammock Gear 11ft Palace Tarp and its now a staple for every trip. It weighs 9oz. When it rains I literally have a small apartment to hang out in. Gone are the days I would be stuck in my tent at noon during a rainstorm. I rock the hammock but if you bring the tent just ditch the rainfly and bring the 9oz tarp. Not a sponsored pitch but I do wish is was......@hammockgear Last if it's going to be cold weather in any way shape or form, I always bring a coffee thermos. I know I know ultralight hikers are giving me a big fuck you right now but on demand hot coffee is worth every oz. Consider the weight an extra battery battery pack. Except fuel for the soul. Keep hustlin bro and would be down to interview you at my film studio in LA sometime in the future. I bet you have some great stories.

My brother and I hiked through a section of Dolly Sods doing the circumnavigation during rain after a snow melt and it was all flooded like you had to go through. I normally hike in Altras, but something made me take my waterproof hiking boots and and waterproof socks (it was cold). That was a lucky decision because my feet stayed pretty dry and warm. Also look into a professional running shoe fitting. I went back and saw you are trail running. You could have a stress fracture from improper support or you may have increased your running volume too much trying to keep up with Flossie. Use the 10% rule and don’t increase your week over week mileage by more than 10%.

I've had some issues with a tendon in my ankle lately that I ignored thinking it will get better. Kind of like your foot, it just seemed to start hurting and I have no clue what I did to it. It didn't get better and I finally saw the doc. Now it's taking forever but probably could have been better in a few weeks if I had started treatment early on.

We had also had knee and hip replacements 18 months prior and we were testing our new joints. We did the full 800 km in September 2018. I found that the constant walking, on mostly flat ground proved to be the key, for me, in curing my fasciitis. It has never returned.

This hike looks as shitty as mine last weekend in the San Isabel National Forest. However if it weren't for the bad ones, we wouldn't know the good hikes. Good job making the best out of a bad situation.

KO, if you haven't already, you've got to try the Ritter Sport Cornflake bar. You'll never hike alone again.

I’ve been having foot issues on longer distances this year, so I can totally sympathize with the “Ow! Ow! Ow!” on every step. I’ve had to cut a couple trips short this year because of my feet. I’ve decided to try barefoot shoes to try and strengthen my feet. Of course, I’m an idiot, so I didn’t give myself time to transition properly. I jumped right into a Presidential traverse wearing them, so that kinda hurt, lol. I totally knew better but did it anyway. But I’m hoping that if I take it a little easier for a bit in these new shoes, my feet will get stronger and I won’t have problems with them anymore. Hope your feet recover soon, Kyle!

Been there, done that! I don't carry anything heavier than a daypack with minimalist shoes on. I normally wear Altra Lone Peaks with Powerstep orthotics, but have found that I like the feel and mobility of New Balance Minimus shoes on short hikes: It's like a foot massage unless the rocks are like AT rocks in Pennsylvania or the Presidentials. Carry on!

It's probably the new shoes causing the pain.

Didn't read your comment all the way through. I think you made the right decision. You do gotta give your feet time to transition though.

I member my knee starting to go in the backcountry of Yosemite in the offseason (back behind half dome)... What I did is I got rid of everything I didn't absolutely need to get back to trailhead. I just stashed it really good and came back for it.

Damn dude! The Cranberry Lake 50 is where good feet go to die, I think! The first time I did the CL50 was in early June 2017, and we're planning on heading out this October. I learned a value lesson about gangrene, Gore-Tex, and boot sizing, so I'm hoping this years trip is less enlightening ;) You're 100% right -- once you hit that back section of the trail on the S/SE side of the lake, you're in the thick of it, and there's no place to bail out if you need to. Glad to see you made it out "OK" but bummed that you're still hurting ...

I once hiked three miles up my favorite mini mountain in Bama and right after turning around to come down, I started running and broke a big toe on a tiny rock lip obscured by vegetation. That was a major hassle but never scary per se. The idea of being more seriously hurt, much farther out, gets exponentially scarier the more i think about it.

Having suffered a knee injury when a dog pulled me while walking I wondered what happens out on trail when you get hurt. I couldn’t walk and it really ruined walking until rest healed it

I was told by a dude at the NOC that real hikers need boots. I mentally told him to f-off, then returned my attention back to the young woman who successfully found me what I came in for: Altra Lone Peak 5s. I started at Amicalola with Superiors, which, fwiw, AREN'T, and gave up on them when I slipped in the mud on a downhill and fell on my Go-guitar, which, thankfully was undamaged. I also wear orthics, Powerstep, every day, and am still using the pair that I started the (eventually 274 mile) trip with. I work at a stand up workstand every day, and I'm old and over 200 lbs. when I'm not hiking long hikes. Hope this helps someone, Tinker, AT section hiker. ☺

Ironically, both me and my wife had major foot pain on this hike too. Probably not a good idea for us to break in new hiking shoes on a 50 mile trip! Beautiful loop though.

Sorry to hear about your foot man!! The adirondacks are usually amazing! Its in my back yard! My uncle has hiked the cranberry lake 50 off and on for years. He has a camp up there. Fall time is the best! Much drier that time of year. I was actually up camping 4th lake on 4th of july weekend too and it rained on us almost the entire time. But my tent stayed bone dry thank god! It can def be hit or miss. I really want to hike the NPT (Northville Placid Trail)! Aprox 138 miles long. Thought about doing a SOBO too. Not sure though. Hard to get that many days off work but that trail is beautiful as im sure you have heard. I'm working on doing all the fire tower challenge right now. I have about half of them done. Stay safe man! Hike on!!
