By now, the trail has changed our 2026 Trail Correspondents—and their bodies are starting to tell the story. In this episode, hikers from the AT, PCT, and CDT reflect on what's gotten stronger, what's gotten sorer, and the aches, adjustments, and unexpected physical challenges that have shaped their journeys so far. After thousands of miles and countless footsteps, the question is simple: are their bodies adapting, or just holding on?
