[QUOTE="jpflavin1, post: 79146, member: 8077"] Labtails: I am over 60 and walked the Camino Frances last year. The walk is not easy but doable by anyone. The key is to start slowly and work your way into it. As far as training, I had never completed more than a day hike prior to walking the Camino. That said, I think it is important to at least do some long walks prior to doing your Camino. The first thing to do is get some good shoes. I recommend you go to an REI store or the equivalent where you live and get fitted for a good pair of hiking shoes. Tell the sales person what you plan to do and a good one will make some recommendations. As your feet go, so does your Camino. Then just start walking and increasing your distances. If you plan to start from SJPdP, I recommend you break the first day into two days by stopping in Orisson. The first day, in my opinion, is the toughest on the Frances. Orisson is only 8km and you need to make a reservation in advance. I am getting ahead here with advice. Take some time to browse through the forum and afterwards ask any and all questions you might have. Many others and I will be willing to give our opinions. Remember this, It will be your Camino to do however you choose. Ultreya, Joe [/QUOTE]
