You'll be ok.
Try not to walk a camino before your camino.
Buen camino to you both.
You will be fine. My wife and I do two types of training. One is several trips up and down a 1/2 k long steep hill for strength. The other is longer walks for endurance. Our average training walk is 8 miles. The week before we go I try to get in two back to back walks of 15 miles with full pack. In September we will start our 7th camino/long hike. If you enjoy walking, walk. Take care of your feet and you will do well. ;-) Buen Camino !
I’m also stepping up the training. Today I had 3, yes THREE, cafe con leche.
You sound very well prepared. Be careful not to overtrain and injure or exhaust yourself before you go.
Just go at your own (usual) pace and you'll be fine.
Buen Camino!
Totally agree as we age and one wonderful discovery of the Camino is discovering your own body. Training is like opinions, everyone has a method and an opinion on what is best! I think you guys have this covered!Thanks It56 NY,
We actually will not be walking after September Sept 26. On the 30th we fly and make our way to St. Jean on the 1st of Oct. Then we start walking on 3rd . This gives us a full week to rest, including two nights in St. Jean to recover some from Jetlag. With that in mind our first day is relatively easy...just to Orisson...8km and abt 600km.... We will also send everything ahead until we get to Roncevalles.
Funny, as we get older, (69 and 78) we seem to train more. Takes our muscles a bit longer to strengthen and we walk slower. But We have hiked for many years so we are attuned to our bodies as I am sure you are as well. Good luck with your training for your fourth Camino!
