Interesting question @Philla I trust that you yourself do not tick too many of those boxes. The answer is yes, lots. And you can add cancer, bereavement and heart-break to your list just from stories that have been posted in the last couple of weeks.Just wondering if anyone has walked the camino after having heart/kidney transplant new hip knee or having suffered a stroke or heart attack or any other medical conditions ? (Not bunions or verrucas)
Don't wait to be on the Camino to find out!! Work your way up on the distance and successive days to see how you do. If you cannot reach your fifteen mile goal for three days on a long weekend, you may be over-matched by the Camino. I suggest that it is a good idea not to discover anything new on the Camino except scenery, people, and food. There should be no equipment, footwear, or endurance discoveries.feeling a bit unsure if i can actually walk 15 mile plus for 30 odd days
I know at this point I cannot walk 15 mile days for 3 days, and possibly never will be able to do so. SO.... I am planning a Camino with more days and shorter walks, and will see what happens. Maybe I will get stronger, maybe not. SO I am skipping the Pyrenees, planning days of about 15K, and hoping to enjoy the experience.Hoping to do my first Camino in September and feeling a bit unsure if i can actually walk 15 mile plus for 30 odd days so when fellow pilgrims say they have walked it with this and that ailment it gives me encouragment in if they have the courage and guts to do it why not me ?
