You must of course join for them to issue you with a pilgrims passport, please bear this in mind as they get many requests each year from people that are not members hoping to get a pilgrims passport.
A pilgrims passport is a must, you must have one to stay in an Albergue. The passport will have a space for sellos (stamps) on it, this proves that you have walked that day and are entitled to stay in an Albergue (pilgrims only hostel), if there is space, (not normally a problem). Pilgrim’s passports are also issued in various albergues. Day Hiking Checklist: Expert Advice from REI. How To Tape An Ankle Video. Training? - Camino de Santiago de Compostela forum.

Chafing. 7:51 p.m. on July 9, 2005 (EDT) Not a pleasant subject I know. Every now and then, I experience chafing in my crotch area, mostly where the back of my legs meet my butt cheeks. What can I can apply prior to hiking to prevent this?

I wear synthetic compression shorts under hiking pants/shorts and never have had chafing since. Again, referring to products made for endurance sports... "body glide" is a terrific product. slippery, doesn't stain clothing and washes off easily with soap and water.

2008-19. Camino de Santiago: Packing. Home / The Camino de Santiago / Packing Hikers on the trail spend a lot of time thinking about what they packed. Almost everyone packs too much, and usually much too much. It is not uncommon for hikers to mail home as much as half of their pack. I was fortunate that my sister had already hiked part of the trail (thank you, Linda!) Because she was able to prepare me for what I would need. A good packing goal: 10-15 pounds (4.5 - 6.5 kg) not including food or water. About the trail: Cheap restaurants and bars are everywhere, and if you prefer to make your own food, most albergues have kitchens with pots, pans, plates, and utensils.
And finally: We noticed that long pants (especially jeans) topped the list of items most likely to be left on the trail by hikers wishing to reduce weight. Absolute Minimum Packing (~ 8 lb = 3.6 kg total weight) Highly Recommended (~ 2 lb = 1 kg of additional weight) Recommended Luxuries (~ 2 lb = 1 kg of additional weight) Probably Not Worth It.

Nutrition for the Athlete. Nutrition for the Athlete by J. Anderson, L. Young and S. Prior1 (12/10) Quick Facts... Athletes achieve peak performance by training and eating a variety of foods. Becoming an elite athlete requires good genes, good training and conditioning and a sensible diet. Carbohydrates Athletes benefit the most from the amount of carbohydrates stored in the body. Complex carbohydrates come from foods such as spaghetti, potatoes, lasagna, cereals and other grain products. During exercise, the glycogen is converted back to glucose and is used for energy. For events that require heavy work for more than 90 minutes, a high-carbohydrate diet eaten for two to three days before the event allows glycogen storage spaces to be filled.
According to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, endurance athletes on a high-carbohydrate diet can exercise longer than athletes eating a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. Eating sugar or honey just before an event does not provide any extra energy for the event.
