At 64 I walked from SJPP to Santiago in 29 days. You sound like you are in better shape than I was. I think 30-36 days is sufficient. I suggest you opt for a flexible flight ticket for your return trip. That may ease your planning concerns and allow you time to linger or sightsee if you choose.
Hi Liz,
I recommend you begin with your prescribing doctor who may have some suggestions or possibly offer an alternative medication.
Have you agreed to work at particular Albergue’s? Consider asking one that is about 3-4 weeks into your trip to suggest a Farmacia you could contact ahead of...
I wore Keen Targhee II waterproof hiking boots the whole way. I trained in them for a couple of months before the Camino as well. They were easy to break in. They had a wide toe box and an ankle guard to help downhill hiking. I was grateful for not getting blisters. Highly recommend them.
