    Plantar fasciitis.

    Sad situation. For your knee, I recommend Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets. You will notice the difference after a couple of weeks. I am also 73, completing my Camino last year in September, taking 31 days. Next year, the Camino del Norte awaits! Buen Camino 😎 🇳🇿🇪🇸

    Topography - does it really matter??

    The Tararua Ranges, I presume?

    Topography - does it really matter??

    Your statement regarding pace is indeed very important especially the differing cadences. I have quite a high tempo compared to my younger brother, so I usually left him behind during our recently completed Camino Frances. I found that walking at his pace was tiring, as I felt out of sync/rhythm...

    Advice needed: Am I getting enough hill training?

    My training had been mainly in the foothills near home with the odd hike in our South Island with my brother who will be accompanying me on the Camino. Can't wait.

    Training for Camino?

    I have been sectionally doing New Zealand's TA. The terrain here is rather challenging, so the Camino 'should' be manageable.

    Advice needed: Am I getting enough hill training?

    I would suggest, do as much hill work as possible. This weekend I am going on a 20km loop hike in pretty rough country with my Camino load. I do believe that hard work now will be of benefit next month. Go well, Stina.

    Mid 70 Male & Potential Issues

    Eating a couple of handfuls of pumpkin seeds are helpful for the bathroom problem. I am 72 and only go once during the night.

    Thank you, Rita. I love olives. I'm starting my Camino on the 26th of August. Can't wait! 😎

    Any recommendations regarding replacing electrolytes during and after a long day's hike? Thanks in advance. Buen Camino.

    Super Paranoid....Can i REALLY Do This?

    You will do it. Self belief is so important! 😎

    I'm so discouraged!

    I use Hiker's Wool regularly. The Lanolin in the merino soothes the spot almost instantly. Never hike without a good supply.
