- Future Camino in September 2022
Good day all,
I started preparing for the French Way already in July, namely by running 5 times a week. At the moment I can already run more than 10 kilometers; my goal is to run 14 km without a major problem, which should be achieved in a couple of weeks, before I go on the road in September. My ambitions are to walk a little more than 28 km a day, as I would like to finish the journey in the set 28 days, before I head to Muxia/Finisterre.
Is this realistic?
I ask this because I saw many threads/opinions on this forum that suggested running is not the best preparation for the Camino, but only walking with a heavy backpack. Long-distance walking training does not suit me, as it takes longer than running.
Otherwise, I'm fairly fit, as I usually cycle at least 20 km on weekdays because of my work.
I thank everyone in advance for the answers.
