Is this normal after hiking?

Question

Whenever I come back from a hike that's about 10-12 km, I'm extremely tired that day. And the next day when I wake up I'm still tired. It takes all of next day for me to feel ok again. Is that normal?

Answer 1

Not necessarily.  To better understand your fatigue following hikes, it would help to know more about your activity level.  Could it be your fatigued because outside of these hikes you do relatively little physical activity?  Or is it that you're hyperactive and never give yourself a chance to rest?

Could be diet, too.
