My guess is that you can do it. Nine days would be pretty standard for Ponferrada to Santiago, so eight days would only be a small push. Only you know for sure, though!I think I will have about 8-9 days walking, and I want to see as much of the trail as I can. I'm 32 and reasonably fit, and will have a few kms in the legs by then!
Would Ponferrada be a good place to start, or perhaps unrealistic? Should I just stick with Sarria?
You should do it easily from there.Hi pilgrims!
I'm making my first camino in Sept/Oct 2014, and I'm trying to decide on a starting point. I think I will have about 8-9 days walking, and I want to see as much of the trail as I can. I'm 32 and reasonably fit, and will have a few kms in the legs by then!

When did the Camino become a race to see who can do it the quickest,"I did it in 22 days"," I did it in 20 days". Who cares ?Its not a raceFor those who don't know about Jenny Biondi Anderson in the comment above, she is an "ultra runner" and her Camino was a world-record attempt at running from SJPP to Santiago as fast as she could. She wanted to establish a "fastest running time." You can read more about her here: http://jennyjourney.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/the-way/

Thank you for posting this Ivar.
The next thing you know Red Bull will be sponsoring the Camino as an endurance race if these "pilgrims" keep posting their times.When did the Camino become a race to see who can do it the quickest,"I did it in 22 days"," I did it in 20 days". Who cares ?Its not a race
A person has two reasons for everything he does -- a good reason and the real reason. My guess is that ego is way ahead of religion/spirituality as a TRUE motivation for walking the Camino. Bragging rights bring real comfort to some, so don't take it away. Help them by reminding them that they can get a certificate of distance to go with the Compostela, and cover both bases.When did the Camino become a race to see who can do it the quickest,"I did it in 22 days," " I did it in 20 days."
