[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 995682, member: 31995"] My advice is to build in some cushion. But that's always my advice. :) As you say, elevation can turn a planned 30k day into a tiring 20k day quite easily. So can injury. I know I couldn't do it in 60 days. But you have done such things in the past so who am I to say you couldn't do it. Giving yourself a bit of a cushion gives you the flexibility to respond if things don't go as expected. My worry is that if they don't, and you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you may find that slows you down. Which puts you behind. Which means you have to push yourself even harder. and it becomes an unhealthy spiral that puts your Camino at risk. If you have some cushion, you can prevent that from happening. One final comment is that if you are judging how far you will want to walk in a day based on experience with other, non-Camino, hikes, you may find that your preferences change on the Camino. The Camino is quite different from most long-distance wilderness hikes. Just ask the folks here who have done both. And that difference may influence how far you choose to walk each day. [/QUOTE]
