[QUOTE="Roby, post: 919679, member: 84752"] Before deciding to go on the Camino I was very inactive and with a lot of extra pounds. So I decided that I would prepare a year before departure and that I would cover about 25 km a day on average on Camino. I started with regular 5km walks a day. Then I extended it to ten km a day. After that I started walking 20 km twice a week. Two months before the trip, I crossed 30 km twice a week carrying a backpack. That’s why the Camino wasn’t hard for me, I didn’t get a single blister and I didn’t have any problems along the way. On the Camino I got even stronger and at the very end of the trip I had two days of 40km a day. When my son asked me to take him next time, I told him that he should first pass the check-up, get up at 6:30 in the morning and walk 4 days in a row with me for 25 km. After that we had one 30km pilgrimage and now I sure he would be capable of the efforts that awaited him. So, if you are not in really good shape, in my opinion, preparations are mandatory. They will give you the security and confidence that you can withstand the efforts that await you and help you avoid blisters and injuries. I start the Camino in Pamplona and carry a backpack weighing 9 kg. After completing the daily section, I always have a lot of strength for sightseeing. Preparations also allow you to make sure that all the equipment you wear is adequate to your needs. [/QUOTE]
