    Hiking with bad popped blisters

    I don’t think you should walk any further in the shoes you currently have if the blisters are already that bad. You could put yourself in a position if not being able to walk at all in the next few days after that. Take a taxi if you have to, as others have suggested.

    Leg, foot rashes: Purpura (?)

    I get that whenever I walk a lot in the heat while wearing socks. The first time it happened I was a bit alarmed but it really looks way worse than it is and it goes away quickly after a couple of days of rest. It came and went during my whole Camino.

    Training for Camino?

    I should have chosen my words differently, I won’t walk outside in the winter rather than can’t. 😁

    Training for Camino?

    My first Camino will begin in May. I am following a distance walking plan I found online. I am the kind of person who needs to follow something specific or I will tend to do nothing. This week’s maximum is 7 miles and it builds each week. Keeps me motivated, I have a set plan, and I am using...

    Tips for Uphill Walking or Hiking

    I am a little over a year out from my Camino and coincidentally starting my training today as I have been pretty sedentary and want to very slowly increase mileage— couch to Camino, as it were. My biggest fear is the hills so reading this today helped me a lot, at least mentally.
