[QUOTE="Marbe2, post: 1203421, member: 51058"] My suggestion is as follows: SLOW DOWN! Question: Are you working with a trainer and/or seeing a physical therapist now?? I must advise caution here. I understand that you have consulted with and been cleared by your physician to undertake this walk. You would do well to seek a professional trainer to work with you, if you don’t have one already. Given your physical injuries, walking on a treadmill with a back pack for such lengths of time might not be advisable!? Why not take a kinder, gentler approach. Many folks who go on a camino, wind up lifers. The Camino becomes part of their DNA. Or they add other walking/adventure challenges. Your 24lb weight loss goal is doable in 6 months. In my honest opinion, your training program may not be an appropriate one for where you may physically be at this point. Seek out someone who can work with you. I know you are looking for assistance from us and am excited for you that you want to walk! But, I encourage you to consult with someone who can assess exactly where you are, physically and Guide you as you prepare for this adventure! Consider using a transport service for your pack daily, or as needed. You can decide upon that later, but given the ankle and knee injuries and body weight it might be advisable. [/QUOTE]
