Greetings all.
I was scheduled to start in Porto in a few days. Went for a 20 km hike yesterday (my longest thus far) and almost didn’t make it. By the time I got home, I could hardly walk.
There was about 1200ft of elevation gain but the weather was perfect. I could be in better shape to be sure.
My current schedule calls for 20-25 km/day. After yesterday, that’s not possible.
I am limited to 12 days on the Way. I guess the advice I’m looking for is do I just postpone til later in the year? Try to work with current schedule and just shorten my daily distance? Postpone and train harder to reach the 20-25 km mark?
Really, if you’ve been in this position, I’d love to hear your experiences. Pretty bummed right now.
Thanks in advance.
