    Pole usage from Sarria to Santiago

    Running to train for the Camino???

    IMO, it is all about consistency. When training for a run event (marathon, half-marathon, 10k, 5k, etc..), the more consistent you run the better your body will react to the stress it goes through. My belief is that if you can run 5-6 days a week, it will pretty much train your body for it along...
