i know plenty of people who go on 20-25km day-hikes as a casual outing that requires no planning or forethought beyond waking up in the morning and deciding to go for a hike, and they'd all say 6 days for the west coast trail is a reasonable pace.

That's quite a pace, wowie! Usually I'd be tuckered afterwards with a 0 planning 20-25 kilometer...er hike.

To be honest, the most enduro sport for me that I can do right now is kayaking, and I can do ~10 miles or so on flat water with my sorta tubby 10 footer in about 4 hours or so (with breaks)...and that's it, with a week's recovery afterwards.

Crazy distance for them, I'm impressed and a little jealous to be honest. Maybe I'll be there someday. :)))) <3
