Whether you are new to exercise or a competitive athlete, at some point in your training you will hit the dreaded plateau. After a period of progression, suddenly you hit a wall. Your weight loss stalls. Your performance stagnates. Your body and your mind are in a rut and you may be tempted to just give up. While everyone hits a plateau, our bodies are not the same.

Chances are you've already tried some different training methods, but you might be frustrated because they haven't worked as well as you'd like.

Cycling & Walking the Camino de Santiago: Naoko Motohiro walked and her husband, Mike Newton, cycled the Camino de Santiago over five weeks from 2014 ... by Mike Newton (21 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

In early 2014 we visited our friends Jessica and Nigel, and the Camino de Santiago came up in conversation. They had just completed it but we had no idea that it even existed until they told us about it. We learnt that it was a famous walk that started in St Jean Pied-de-Port and finished at Santiago, a total of 800km equating to 500 miles. This distance seemed to be an awful long distance to me. The most I had walked in a day was the Yorkshire Three Peaks, which was about 25 miles. I had lost a few toenails on that walk and did not want to repeat the experience. However Naoko, who was a much keener walker than me, wanted to learn more about it. She was told that she should: ? Read the book by John Brierley, entitled 'Pilgrim's Guide To The Camino De Santiago'. ? Watch the film starring Martin Sheen called 'The Way'. We went on to walk & cycle the Camino over 3 years, with me cycling due to a foot problem. The book includes many photographs and our tale of of our trips, including ...
