The "distance certificate" - something to consider
Yes it looks pretty similar to that -- I have just looked back and have a picture of it on a webpage I wrote about my adventure (scroll down to the bottom): http://www.wartnaby.org/running/camino/index.html Maybe I got that because I explained I did not want the compostela, and in fact feel it...- CharlieWart

The "distance certificate" - something to consider
(I haven't been here for a long time but was still getting the emails and saw this subject line...) It wasn't a big deal, but I was refused the distance certificate because I'd done my 100+K *too quickly* -- I ran it in one day as an ultramarathon, getting masses of sellos along the way -- but...- CharlieWart

Why the hurry?
I love the even-handed sentiment here -- and totally agree that there should be no judgment of others choosing to go fast, or slow, or long, or short (well unless they take taxis and claim they've walked of course). But as someone from the opposite end of the spectrum -- who did the minimum...- CharlieWart

Rely on the waymarking, ignore your apps!
I did the VdP from Oursense and the problem with arrows I feared was that if I missed one (which I did several times) -- especially one directing me to take a branch off a more major track -- it could be a long time before self-doubt set in and I would feel I'd have to backtrack to find an...- CharlieWart

46 km a day
She went with the floe, so's to speak, not an option on the Camino! >Figure St. Jean Pied de Port to Logrono in one long day. Eek! I did Ourense to SdC in 13hrs, as an ultramarathon -- 114km, including going a bit wrong. Couldn't walk too well for the next 3 days or so though, so I think the...- CharlieWart

Sello "timing"?
It is a bit arbitrary, though I can't really complain as I did it in a completely non-spiritual manner, and so did not want the religious compostela certificate -- I am well aware the whole system was set up for genuine pilgrims, not athletes. For me it was just a bit of fun to go for it anyway...- CharlieWart

Sello "timing"?
I ran the last part of the Via de la Plata in one day as an ultramarathon last summer (114 km, including going a bit wrong!). I thought the "two sellos per day" rule didn't really work in my case -- I could have got one in Ourense, one in SdC, and that would have been it, but I was sure that...- CharlieWart

GPS on Camino Frances
I ran the last 100km+ of the Via de la Plata in one day, as an ultramarathon. I was very anxious not to add needless kilometres to what would already be a major challenge by going wrong, so I downloaded the only routes I could find (two different ones, from different sources) and installed them...- CharlieWart
