I pretty much just walked our dogs...around 6-8 miles or two hours. My wife trained more on hills and wore her pack sometimes. She also used trekking poles and swears by them, I chose not to. Carrying the pack just took a little getting used to. We thought if we walk 8 miles in two hours at...
We averaged about 15 miles per day, we never felt the need for a rest day ( we're mid fifties ) and actually slowed down as we were meeting friends in Sarria and were ahead of schedule.
We walked Sept. 7 to Oct. 10 2014, I wore shorts and light tee shirts the entire time with a light long sleeve top in the mornings. My wife wore leggings and light tops, it rained off and on the last week to ten days and we slipped on the rain gear as needed. Buen Camino! Pete
