When I was a Hotshot, we would usually average 20-40 miles a day, over about 16 hours a day. that's with line gear so flame-resistant clothing, 35-55 pound pack, tool and whatever other gear, sometimes 5 gallon jerry cans and water bags. Terrain was generally extremely varied, here's a pretty good example from Idaho:


I also ran/scrambled down and up the South Rim of the Grand Canyon which i think was like 18 or 19 miles total with some pretty good elevation gain.
