Best advice is to not plan past a week or two at the most. Stuff happens all the time. An ankle is twisted and mileage drops from 12 to 8 a day, extending that week hike from 6 to 8 days. Snow sets in so you head to lower elevation and delay a few days. You hit a section that is harder than you thought. You get sick.
Start the plan with 8 to 12 miles a day maximum for the first week to two weeks. The next two weeks plan on 12 to 14 mile days. Most only plan on 6 hiking days a week. Take a day of rest. See where you wind up looking at the guide of your choice. Don't plan past those first few weeks. Remember also that while you will be doing 16 to 20 mile days in the middle Atlantic (Maryland, some of PA, NY, CT, MASS), once you get beyond those states, your miles per day will probably have to drop back to 10 to 14 due to the difficulty of the trail in NH and Maine.
In another response I advised that one of the guide books may be purchased in Unbound and Bound. Bound version stays at home so you communicate with family and friends and they are looking at the same data pages you are looking at. They will still have some travel plans to make to meet you up.
Also, this website has, or used to have, some resources to plan out steps. Stuff like how to address a mail-drop. A list of shuttles you could contact, by state.

Hammock hangs are where you go into the woods to meet men you've only known on the internet so you can sit around a campfire to swap sewing tips and recipes. - sargevining on HF
AKA, Adapt and overcome right ?
That is a total nonsense comment as it doesn't define anything nor does it have anything to support that claim.
I have people are more interested in continuing to make baseless statements that have no substance
Once again, saying it works is baseless because it's void of any actual substance.
Ask a question and we can help you.
The only baseless comments here are the original by the OP. Nobody else has any of these issues your talking about, that's why there is no need to explain anything more then they already do. Try e-mailing the company for a better response if you don't like what your getting. If your having trouble like this there is bound to be a lot more trouble and misunderstanding out on the actual trail. Maybe, in a minor way, the guides are trying to help you figure things out on your own a bit, like you'll have to on the trail. All the advice your getting and you just keep blowing everyone off like your some superior something.
