Starting first Camino (Frances) end of August 2017
- Time of past OR future Camino
- No1 = 2017
Hello,
I'm recently home from my first Camino the Frances SJPP to Santiago.
I was thrilled to complete the walk in 40 days (including rest days), with no injuries and feeling in really good shape. (I had blisters, bed bugs and metatarsalgia but managed to handle all of those - as one does on the Camino!)
I now want to build on my fitness gained and put these strong muscles to good use, now I'm home.
Today a went for a run (I used to run before the Camino) and I literally hobbled along, both knees giving me quite a bit of pain.
I had no knee trouble on the Camino, although I did have some in my training.
I am hoping this will ease off and it's just a case of using different muscle groups.
If any physios or other body /exercise experts are on the forum and can give me any reassurance and tips for getting back to my running that would be wonderful.
Nicola
