[QUOTE="Tim Floyd, post: 632641, member: 55164"] You are getting plenty of good advice here. 10 weeks to prep is plenty. The key is start slowly, pace yourself, listen to your body and use the Camino to build yourself up. Most people I saw having problems pushed too hard early and got hurt. Start slow. Finish strong. My advice? Buy excellent shoes and great socks. Dont go cheap on either. Break them in by walking before you arrive. Then start slowly. Consider Pamplona as others suggest because there are many intermediary stop options and you wont have the physical pressure of the first days out of SJPP. I also recommend you find a way to extend your Camino so it is not rushed. I did it in 6 weeks, which gave us the options for rest days and some shorter segments. Slow and steady. But go! September and early October are wonderful. That is when we went last year. [/QUOTE]
