When he came across the 50/20 hike, 50 miles in 20 hours, he knew he’d found it. It traces back to President Abraham Lincoln, who allegedly said that every American man should be able to walk 50 miles in a day. Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy later gave the same challenge to the Marine Corps.
