The ‘Right’ Way to Experience a Trail: Fast or Slow?

Met a trail runner yesterday who covered 12 miles in the time it took me to do 4. He seemed genuinely puzzled why I was photographing mushrooms and reading interpretive signs. Meanwhile, I couldn’t understand how he was experiencing anything at that pace. We’re both on the same trail but having completely different experiences. Is one of us “doing it wrong”? How do you find your natural rhythm? #Hiking
