I know it’s going to vary a lot based on age, fitness level, how hard you pushed yourself etc, but I would like to get a feel for the range of time it took people to feel normal again!
I arrived at SdC on Saturday, having walked from SJPdP in 38 days, minus a little bus ride because of knee pain. I was exhausted in a way I have never known before. Had 3 days of R&R in a nice apartment in Santiago (OK, the 3rd day we took the bus to Finisterre and did the 9.9K loop), travelled home on Wednesday, and yesterday and today I have been pootling round the house, getting things straight after some building work while we were away. Dust everywhere!
But I have no energy. I want to sit down all the time. Fortunately, I don’t start back to work until a week on Monday.... but there are lots of jobs I want to get done round the house!
How long did it take you to get back to yourself?
