    You'll Never Walk Alone

    Weight Loss

    I am 67-year old male with a fairly thin frame. I've walked two Caminos. Lost well over ten pounds on both, and wasn't at all overweight either time I started. My take is you can't drink enough wine to replace the calories you burned -- I estimate I burned 4-5,000+ calories most days.

    Protein Supplements

    Thank you, Tom. Where do you get the individual packets while on the Camino? I am planning to walk the del Norte/Primitivo starting in mid-April.

    Protein Supplements

    Anyone know if it is possible to buy protein powder or other protein supplements in supermercados or elsewhere? I make a protein smoothie daily and would like to maintain my protein intake on my upcoming second Camino. Looking for good options -- thanks!

    La Laguna El Burgo de Ranero July 25 2016

    Stayed there in May. No problem with bed bugs, but it was in probably the worst condition of any albergue I stayed in. The rooms and beds were OK, but the toilets and showers were pretty messy and they totally ran out of TP in the morning. I'd try and stay elsewhere if possible.

    What's your average pace?

    Obviously the terrain makes a huge difference in achievable pace. Leaving breaks aside (pretty controllable by you), I found I was able to average 5k/hr (or better) on generally level ground. On much of the Meseta I averaged 5.5k/hr without at all feeling like I was "pushing it." As reference...
