[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 972930, member: 31995"] I didn't prepare for my 1989 Camino specifically, but I was in much better shape then. Nor did I prepare for by 2016 Camino (remembering the 1989 Camino and considering it unnecessary). I regretted it, getting serious knee issues a few days in and hobbling around the albergues in the evening like a 90 year old man (especially towards the beginning). I did prepare for my 2018 Camino, doing regular long distance walks of increasing length and frequency with a loaded backpack. When I could walk three 20 km days in a row without issue, I knew I was ready. That Camino there were no knee issues and no hobbling. Physical preparation is not a necessity. One can complete a Camino without it. I did. But it will certainly cut down on the pain experienced and reduce the likelihood of physical issues. I would recommend it. [/QUOTE]
