Wow....SO much respect ! Good for you!As mspath posted, I couldn't agree more. Now at the ripe age of 80, planning my 2nd Camino for 2017. Wish you Buen Camino.....
Thanks for all the great feedback. I have approximately 3 months to get ready so I am positive.
My current structure includes 1 hour vigorous walk at noon every day, then a lighter 20 minute or half hour less vigorous walk in the evening. I cover about 10 km a day.
Weekends I am going to start at 2 hours and try to increase to 3 over time. I think this will be good target for the next little while
You are on the right "path." I will be 70 on my next Camino and it will be my sixth one, I practice by walking without my pack for at least an hour everyday of the year, several weeks before the start of my Camino I double that distance. For cardio I do spin classes everyday.Thanks for all the great feedback. I have approximately 3 months to get ready so I am positive.

Yes, 12 oz curls are recommended as well as proficiency with a corkscrew.You are on the right "path."

But remember this, one of the most important ways to prepare for the Camino is to learn how to drink a couple of beers at the end of your walk every day and a carafe of vino tinto with your dinner!
Wow that is a lot of training miles ! Good for you. I had some concerns last year too walking with my backpack in the neighborhood. But thankfully by now most neighbors know about me and about my Camino's, so they don't think I'm a homeless person anymore ha haIn my case, for about four months before the Camino, I walk about 8 miles every second day or so and a 14 miles loop once a week. Average pace is 15 mins a mile which is my comfortable walking speed. I don't wear my backpack because, frankly, I think I would look very odd wearing one in the local roads where I walk.
oops I obviously meant aI hope your Camino works out. My daughter starts mid-June. It's really her journey. I am to meet her around July 12th for the last 10 days or so. I still intend on joining her but I may be taking buses and meeting her each evening.
