Hello,
I will walk the Camino for the first time in September. Route - Senda Litoral.
I am not too concerned about my physical condition, I exercise 4 times a week (strength workouts - gym), but I would like some advice.
1. How do you prepare for the trip, I mean for a couple of months to walk with a full backpack for longer distances on weekends or something?
2. How is it better - to choose smaller sections between the stages first, and then lengthen (go longer distances) them? Or maybe you just go with your strength and depending on how you feel/fatigue that day? Usually, in the case of running marathons, or Tour de France, athletes distribute and save their energy according to the plan in order to finish successfully, meaning that they sometimes are slow for a reason.
Thank you all.
