I am having a bit of a good natured disagreement with a good friend of mine. Which do you think is tougher; hiking Mt. Whitney or running a marathon? I have never run a marathon but I have hiked the MWMT twice, (one day hike and one overnight). My friend has never hiked Whitney but says that running a marathon is harder.
I thought the day hike was a little harder than hauling the heavier pack on the overnight trip, but not much.
Your thoughts?? Have some of you done both?
PS With any luck, my friend will come to Whitney with me this summer and we will find out!
