[QUOTE="clarkandkaren, post: 1247251, member: 91942"] You’ve gotten some very good advice here. I can only offer a few specific areas/ideas. I’m starting the Camino in less than 2 weeks. Although I bicycle 200-300 miles a week I still have a few fitness issues to resolve. For muscular endurance.. I’ve found that planks have helped tremendously in strengthening my low back and core muscles. I also do a good bit of upper body work to strengthen my shoulders, neck and arms. The leg work, for me, comes from cycling but you can easily adapt as you walk longer ..6-8 miles a day for as many days in a row as possible. I would think, with the slowest pace, you should be fine with 6-8 miles. As I’ve heard many who have walked, they find their general level of ability increasing daily after the first week. You may also consider, on the days your legs feel especially tired, having someone take your backpack to the spot you plan to end for that day. Good luck and enjoy the walk! Bien Camino! [/QUOTE]
