    Base training level-future Camino at least a year away?

    If you have no immediate plans for a Camino what do you aim for in terms of walking/training weekly? I let my hiking/walking slack off this summer - did a 4.5 mile hike this am and noticed it.

    Sounds great but not sure I could pull it off. still working full time although mid-october through mid-December my slow period. I could probably physically carry the pack but honestly I'm afraid of balance issues. If you feel strong enough I'd say do it w

    SaltStick Electrolyte Caps or Similar in Spain

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Yes I've been in your shoes. My first Camino in 2018 I struggled with fatigue, beyond that which seemed normal. For that reason, combined with ill-fitting shows, I dropped out. Six months later, as a result of other symptoms, I was diagnosed with early stage parkinson's. Clearly I had attempted...
