Pick your weeks until departure, where you're starting from, and the pace you're aiming for. The plan builds your long walk a little every week, rehearses back-to-back days, and tapers before you fly.

How this is calculated
The plan grows your long walk by a fixed, fitness-dependent amount each week — the old rule of never adding too much at once — until it reaches your target Camino day, then holds it there.
The last build weeks add a second, shorter walk the morning after the long one. Walking on tired legs is the single best Camino rehearsal there is.
The final week tapers to roughly forty percent — and the 200 km boots meter exists because box-fresh boots are the number-one cause of week-one blisters.
This tool runs on the same data and logic as the Camino Mío app — when you start walking, your plan comes with you. Meet the app
