My and and I have calculated 35 days for the CF. We are 62 and in good health. We start mid Sept. We like to get Peregrinos feedback who have done the CF to let us know if this is reasonable and doable in this time frame. Gracias! Humbertico
It is not unreasonable. How many miles have you walked during a day with a loaded pack while trekking, walking or hiking ? Can you do that number repeatedly over 35 days. Does the 35 days include rest days? Does it include a buffer in case you need to recover from a bit of illness, blisters, knee pain, etc?
Rest days are at your discretion and are not required, and it is always good to allow some "padding" in the event of the unexpected, but 35 days is a fair number. The only sure way to know is when you arrive in Santiago de Compostela.

Wish you well and Buen Camino , Peter .
I am a Boston Marathoner and 82nd Airborne Vet. I am just looking at average days to complete it. Endurance not an issue.
GraciasFor my first Camino I walked from SJPDP to Finisterre in 35 days. And considering that the most popular guide book has 33 stages, I'd say that's probably a pretty average pace.
Gracias PeregrinoShould be fine. We took 34 with 2 rest days. Next time (careful because the Camino is addictive!) we will have short walking days rather than rest days as we found that they interrupted our rhythm.

My husband and I completed the CF in 2010, in 35 days including 2 days rest. We were 56 and 59 years old. Buen Camino!My and and I have calculated 35 days for the CF. We are 62 and in good health.

I'm no athlete and found 30 days very doable, so health permitting 35 should be well within reach.
Buen Camino,
Rob.
Hello! I am so excited for the two of you. I walked the CF in 34 days this includes one rest day. I am female and in my 50's. My rest day came at day 21. Even though I gave myself plenty of time to walk, I didn't plan any rest days, I just listened to my body. I didn't do too much training and made it through. I got stronger as the days marched on. You're going to have the time of your life. Trust in the arrows and don't stop walking.My and and I have calculated 35 days for the CF. We are 62 and in good health. We start mid Sept.

Should be no problem. My wife and I did the CF in 35 days (including two rest days - Bergos and Leon) and twice; once at 63 and 65, and once at 66 and 68. We were in reasonable condition, but not marathoners. Averaging 22 or so km per day is a very reasonable pace.My and and I have calculated 35 days for the CF. We are 62 and in good health.

I'm certain you can do it, but why? Are you short on time?My and and I have calculated 35 days for the CF. We are 62 and in good health. We start mid Sept. We like to get Peregrinos feedback who have done the CF to let us know if this is reasonable and doable in this time frame. Gracias! Humbertico
