[QUOTE="evanlow, post: 1014482, member: 1157"] Seems that people just simulate the activity in order to train for it, which is difficult if the activity is 30 plus km. Subjective and works for me ever since I tried has been to work around it. Since I don't have the time to walk the tens of thousands of steps with backpack, I chose to do strength training instead. Squats (burpees) in my case just 30 a day leading to the Camino and building up the leg muscles and even push up for upper body has enable me to reduce the time to get used to the Camino with minimal time to get into the Camino swing. That and the strength helped the uphill downhill and even provide stamina for the occasional unavoidable long mileage day. As said it works on me very well. Not sure how well it will work for you.
