[QUOTE="tomjane40, post: 526057, member: 20198"] I am also from AZ training for the Camino this fall. I have been doing my long hikes very early in the morning (5-9am). Luckily for us, the extreme heat too will pass with the incoming monsoons in a couple weeks which should continue to make mornings doable. It sounds like you are starting your pilgrimage the week after me. How fun to walk with you dad. What I have read is that you need strong quads and glutes to do the climbs/descents as well as helping to avoid stress fractures. Luckily that is all indoor strength training and sounds like something you are already doing. What I plan to do this summer is to keep my eye on the weather, and anytime there is a cooler morning I will be out hiking. It sounds like you are in Phoenix where you have a nice availability of good hiking trails to help you train. I am also going to head out during some of the good rains in the afternoon to test out my rain gear. We certainly don't have the luxury of cool weather on our side, but I think there are still good opportunities to get out and walk to get in distance and mileage on our shoes, etc. A good blog I read from a couple from phoenix, Gary and Elizabeth Parkinson ([URL]http://www.trailjournals.com/journal/entry/521194[/URL]). I know that Elizabeth does guided hikes every saturday for camino prep. They also might be able to give you some good training advice. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
