Well, maybe not. My plans are to leave for France on May 4th, stay overnight in Paris, train to St. jean, and begin the Camino! and Thursday I came down with covid. and yes, it did indeed put me flat on my back. but? thanks to medical intervention I am on the mend. 4 lbs lighter, but i can live...
I would train, then pay attention to how your pack feels on your back and learn how to load it where it doesn't feel lopsided. and do as many kilometers as you can, to test fit, and prepare your body for a long walk... I have been training for a few weeks, 5-6 miles a day with pack just to get a...
