[QUOTE="Frankybaby66, post: 1203059, member: 97396"] Hi Lauren, first Camino . . . You're going to love it. You're training is way more than I generally do; what works for me won't necessarily work for you. I find getting used to carrying 'Camino Weight' early is useful. ( I didn't have all my gear together early enough for my first Camino, so got creative with making up for that by adding packs of dry rice to reach the required weight.) It's a fine line between over -training and not doing enough. Over-training can bring the risk of picking up an injury before you even leave home. I tend to top out at 3 x 3 miles during the week, with a long walk at the weekend. If you get the chance, try and fit a couple of long walks in on consecutive days. Some people do a long walk once a week when training (which means your body as a week to recover- a luxury you won't have on Camino). I used 5:2 diet for weight loss ( Google it) and lost 30lb over 6 months👍) A great motivator is try to lose at least the weight of your pack - then it's like not carrying one! Don't overplan your stages (most people do, including me) Just go with the flow; if you're having a tough day, stop early, if you're feeling good, go a bit further. It's a cliché, but you're only in competition with yourself Have a great time, and Buen Camino🙂 [/QUOTE]
