Blisters: main reason: too small shoes; stop on hotspot immediatelyThis video is too slow for me, and the sound quality is not great at times. Can you, Robo, simply type the list of injuries with their prevention and cure, if prevention fails?
Thanks, Martin. You've given me all that I hoped for.Thank you very much, @Robo and @David !
Blisters: main reason: too small shoes; stop on hotspot immediately
Shin Splints: walk as if you have no backpack (not leant forward); short paces
Knees: walking up and down and on rough terrain: poles that are used in the right way (not just clicking on the ground)
But there is much more additional information in the video... so I would recommend to watch it.
Thankfully, I’m past the stage of worrying about my shoes looking too large. However, I had to smile when David indicated he didn’t think poles did much to lessen the weight on one’s knees and, I believe, didn’t think they were much worth using. I use poles not so much to reduce the weight on my knees, but more for stability when going up or down uneven terrain, and particularly for the upper body workout I get ... because I use my poles properly.Ha, ha, I had to laugh when David said that females will buy boots too small. My trusty boots gave up the ghost, so when I was in the big city with husband we went shopping for another pair. I found the identical pair, tried them on, and told the the sales assistant I’ll take them. “BUT THEY’RE FAR TOO BIG!” my HUSBAND wailed. They are NOT, I declared . . . and last year I walked across Spain in them, no blisters. Perfect fit.
You found it too slow? Gosh, I found it perfect camino and post-camino speed for me.This video is too slow for me, and the sound quality is not great at times. Can you, Robo, simply type the list of injuries with their prevention and cure, if prevention fails?
