[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 919567, member: 33948"] It seems logical to train before any physical event. I left the CF at Castrojeriz in the fall of 2018 (3rd time on the CF). Having lived with a neurological disease for nearly 20 years, I know I must train before any trip or event for success/completion - repetition, repetition, repetition - whether for a race, for a mountain climb, or for a Camino. For reasons beyond my understanding, yet which I accepted, my brain and legs just couldn't seem to connect on that trip (moving very slow, shuffle-stepping). Although disappointed, I was grateful for the time I got to walk and the people I met along the way. While walking between Hornillos del Camino and Hontanas, trying to decide what I should do, I came across a stop sign with graffiti written in English, "Go Home." I chuckled and kept going. A few km later, I crossed another rural road with another stop sign with the same graffiti message, which led me to think seriously about going home. By the time I walked into Hontanas, I knew what I was going to do and was at peace with the decision. A year later, while walking the CP, I suffered a significant meniscus tear on the 3rd day out of Porto. Even though it was extremely painful (in fact, the most painful physical experience of my life), I was not about to abandon a Camino two years in a row. I made it. On one trip I was at peace with leaving the Camino, and on another I was determined to not leave, regardless of the pain. For those who've said that one's mental state is as/more important than training physically, I agree wholeheartedly. [/QUOTE]
