Thread starter ann kirkwood Start date Jul 21, I know walking speeds vary, but what is the average length of time that pilgrims walk each day to cover a distance of k? I'm just interested in the rhythm of a day. We are not interested in racing but enjoying the journey.

It would take me from to , including breakfast, rest, coffe breaks, picture taking and short stops to enjoy the landscape. At that time I would settle, have lunch, do the laundry etc I walked with heavy mountain boots in and had blisters within 10kms.

Also if you suspect the boots are too small ditch them - when working as hospitalero this year one pilgrim had problem for precisely that reason but the next town where she would be able to change the footwear was about 2 days walk - more suffering. Glad to hear you want to enjoy the Camino and not race it. I would agree with the 6 - 7 hour rhythm, there is so much to see and enjoy and getting to a refugio about 2.

Hope all goes well, Buen Camino, Brendan. Pace Just thought I would mention something a bit off topic, but moderately connected via the pace. I found it hard to go for much more than seven hours in a day. Seven hours was comfortable, eight hours caused some discomfort. With that in mind, I did find it nice to leave very early in the day, and typically left at around This was my own personal preference as I preferred to arrive at my destination before the bulk of peregrinos so as to have my pick of a bed and first dibs on a shower.

Also, if you travel in the hotest of the months, the temperature rises dramatically after noon. Javier Martin Veteran Member. I agree with Ulysse Day use to be quite long for all you want to do. So, I use to begin walking with sunlight, I stop when I find something interesting and, including stops, I use to walk about 30 km.

Rod New Member. This may be a little off topic but; I plan to start my journey 5 Oct out of St Jean, how much daylight will I have? What would be a good time to start out each day and still leave me with sufficient time to cover the 25 odd K's each day? I don't mind a little darkness but would imagine 5am or even 6 am would be very dark and present lots of opportunities to get lost.

Training can do wonders. By gradually building your walking distance and paying attention to your posture and walking form, you will be able to walk faster and longer. It's always a good idea to build up your walking time steadily from shorter to longer distances. By adding a longer walk each week, you will build your muscles and stamina.

You will also toughen the skin on your feet, which helps prevent blisters. Add a mile to that distance each week, which will be between 15 and 20 more minutes of steady walking. Try a day quick-start walking plan to begin building your walking mileage, whether you just want to walk a mile, enjoy a 5-kilometer charity walk, or even begin training for a half-marathon or marathon.

Needless to say, a more modest goal will serve you well. Breaking a half-marathon is a common goal, especially for those with some running experience running, and it is considered a decent time, particularly for females, in the running community. More competitive runners may try to break the particularly females or particularly males time barriers.

As a broad and extremely generalized statement, any time between — for a female in generally good health running her first half-marathon is a solid time. For males, completing the distance in — is a decent starting point. The bigger question, though, is how long you will take to run a half-marathon. Fortunately, there are tools to help you figure out. First, you can use this table that allows you to take times from a recent one-mile, 5k, or 10k race to suggest how long it would take you to finish a half.

For example, if you can run a 5k in 26 minutes, you should be able to finish a half-marathon in under two hours. Of course, you have to account for factors such as changes in weather, distance and quality of your training, the hilliness of the course, and so forth.

So while a race predictor can give you a great ballpark for a finishing time, there is no guarantee. You can also use this race time predictor that is based on the formula developed by Pete Riegel, and is widely accepted. If you have a running watch, it may even have a function that gives you a predicted time based on your training. Right now, it is staying pretty consistent within a minute or so of one time. You can always enter information into as many race time predictors as possible to get the widest range.

It is still just a rough estimate.
