When I go on for a multi-day hiking ( say, 7 or 8 days), my leg muscle will get painful in the middle of the hiking ( say, at the 4th day). Usually the muscle pain will take 5 days to heal, but I still have a lot more hiking days in front of me, so I can't take rest!
And neither I can do post-hike recovery like massage etc in the middle of sparse-populated mountain.
When going for a multi-day hiking, what I can do to recover from muscle pain, when and if I still have a lot of hiking days ahead of me?
