Do you let the slowest hiker in your group set the pace?

No. Hiking is a physical activity. If your slow, huffing fat ass can't keep up then we're leaving you behind

Obviously you do by definition. If you don't set your pace to the slowest in the group then you leave that person behind and they aren't in the group. Repeat until your group is going at the slowest speed of anyone in the group.

What I do is hike ahead of the slower hikers, wait for them to catch up, and then keep going as soon as they've arrived. In hiking and cycling groups, this is called a Fuck You Break because it's a massive "fuck you" to the slower members of the group who aren't given time to catch their breath. But it's still considered a group.

F U stops are the best. I even do this when I'm hiking alone and encounter slower groups hiking in the same direction.
This past weekend, there was a slow group behind me and I kept waiting for them at different intervals. As soon as they arrived, I would give them a one-liner and then rip up the mountain to another spot further uptrail and set my watch. Rinse and repeat until they reached the summit and then I went for a trailrun down the mountain to further show off my superior fitness level.
Not the first time I did that and won't be the last

And what's to stop people from just taking their own break while you go running off?

Clearly these breaks being 'fuck you' breaks are predicated on the idea that the people you're with actually want to be with and around you, which very obviously is not the case on /out/.

Nobody would bother pushing themselves to stay around assholes like you.

The hiking group moves as fast as the slowest person. Redistribute their pack until everyone is about even in pace. This is the fastest way.

Also fuck people who slow the whole group down but won't let you take any of their weight because it would hurt their ego.

No. That's why I hike solo. Slowing down to below half my usual speed means my legs and feet start hurting much sooner for some reason, and most people I've tried hiking with move at about 1/3 my loaded speed even without a pack.
When I absolutely have to hike with others, I advance 100-200m and then wait. Still less comfortable than keeping my own pace, but at least I that way, I can walk the usual 30+km instead of having my feet hurt after 5km.

Based pasta.
I quit drinking alcohol and smoking weed and any drugs almost 25 years ago.
Best thing ever.
I know I was weak for using anything now, after years of hard-core living and sobriety.
I know I had a problem and using was the only answer I had. It didn't help that growing up I was surrounded by users and party people aka losers, and that is what I thought was normal. It wasn't.
I know not many have my problem and they wouldn't need my solutions.
When I see someone 'off' and living off center, I can relate.
But I don't put myself in with others. I can tolerate others if I have to but the choices are mine to walk away.

During timed marches in the military we walked/jogged at the pace we needed to. If some scumfuck couldn't keep up, first we'd relieve him of his rucksack and make him walk in the front. That way if he starts slowing down the next one in line can start pushing him to pick up the pace. If he continued to struggle, we'd strip him of all his heavy stuff, distribute it among the squad mates, and carry him until he could get back on his feet again. IMO these same principles should be applied in hiking in general.

Often what develops is a spaced column, depending on the number of people we have, where there is always someone that has sight of the last person in the group and in turn someone has sight of them.
One of the advantages is that because I am usually very fast, it lets me basically scout ahead and make routing and other decisions before everyone catches up.

Is the best way to get faster at hiking just doing lots of hiking?

I've done some decent hikes here in NZ but they are infrequent enough that every time I feel like I'm not fit enough and would enjoy it more if I wasn't gasping the whole time.

The "hike only" approach only works for people who can do serious hikes all week. Weekend warrior flatlanders pretty much have to settle for runs, stair climbs, bike rides and home/gym exercises during the workweek and then go hiking on the weekends and days off. Essentially it boils down to whether you won the geographical lottery or not.

I usually end up running ahead on the steep parts, dropping my pack, and coming back and carrying the slowest persons (usually the fattest) pack to where mine is.
I don't go on long hikes with weak hikers though--just short hikes that I can carry mine and their shit if I have to.
