When I start walking from SJPdP next Spring I am anxious to avoid "burn-out" by not over-doing it in the first few days.
Is the following projected schedule excessively cautious or does it make sense it terms of building up strength, speed and endurance for the remainder of the Camino?
Bear in mind I am 68, osteopenic and have a titanium pin in my right tibia and I will not be in a hurry.
day by day for the first six days
SJPdP - Valcarlos - 12km
Valcarlos - Roncevalles -13km
Roncevalles - Viskarret - 10km
Viskarret - Akerreta - 17km
Akerreta - Pamplona - 15km
then the first of "proper" length legs
Pamplona - Puenta la Reina - 24km
then a rest day.
Opinions, folks, opinions please.

Looking at your plan #2, it is what I just did last Spring.
Would not have changed a thing.
I don't want to hijack, but I'm wondering where one gets all this information on different routes and kilometers...?
I haven't completed a camino yet, but i can tell you there is a refuge in Orisson, there's even reviews about it on Tripadvisor.com! It's called Refuge Orisson. They take reservations and if you stayed there it might be easier on your zen. That way you wouldn't have to double back, unless you wanted to.
~Blessings,
Mary
