Hi
Back again. I live about 1500 miles away from grandma but about 14 weeks until flight. She walks about 1/4 mile or more daily right now with no pack. Does this sound like a a sane plan? On camino walk 10-15 KM a day so 6.25-9.4 miles a day. I in no way want her to over do it and get hurt but want her walking enough for camino not to be a shock to system causing problems.
Four different walks to be done for variety and strength building.
1.Walk up past the garden, then turning to drive to Loafer Hill and walking to end of Loafer and back. About 1/2 mile with 100 elevation gain and loss on dirt.
Out house door
2. Walk up to well and back. About 1/2 mile with 100 elevation gain and loss on dirt overgrown path.
Out house door
3. Walk around Greenhorn Lake. About 3/4 mile on paved mainly flat trail.
Drive three miles from house
4. Walk around outdoor loop at YMCA in Yreka. About 1 mile flat on dirt.
Drive two miles from house
Week one, six days a week, walk one walk in morning.
Week two, six days a week, walk one walk in morning and one walk in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks.
Week three, six days a week, walk one walk in morning and one walk in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. Ever another day walk two loops in morning.
Week four, six days a week, walk two loops in morning and one walk in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks.
Week five, six days a week, walk two loops in morning and one walk in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On afternoon walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Week six, six days a week, walk two loops in morning and one walk in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On morning walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Week seven, six days a week, walk two loops in morning and one walk one loop in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On morning and afternoon walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Week eight, six days a week, walk two loops in morning and one walk two loops in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On morning and afternoon walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Week nine, six days a week, walk three loops in morning and one walk two loops in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On morning and afternoon walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Week ten, six days a week, walk three loops in morning and one walk three loops in afternoon make sure to take lunch and break between walks. On morning and afternoon walks carry pack with 5 pounds.
Weeks eleven to fourteen should be the same as week ten.
Use hiking poles please and on all walks take a water bottle and drink water. Please walk the paved loop at Greenhorn at least two times a walk as about 25% of route is walking on pavement.
Thank you for your time
