So in the pursuit of making my mountain hiking as efficient as possible, I've been thinking a lot lately which is better. I have no idea if this has been talked about on here before (I did a search but who knows what to put into the search field), so hopefully I'm not being redundant.
Do you find when hiking that longer, slow steps are better for you, or shorter fast steps? Do the conditions (snow depth, steepness of the trail, etc.) factor into the equation at all? Do you do something different as you get more tired?
Maybe there is an actual correct answer to this question, but I'm curious what you all think.
Thanks for your input!
