  1. I believe you. Lots of people forget that maintaining fitness is much easier than gaining it, especially at 60 or 70. 30km a day is not much, it only takes 5 km/h a hour, a slow walking speed for anybody the old and 6 hours. I assume I will be able to do that in my 60's. Walking is really not that hard when you keep doing it all your life. It's not hiking, it's just walking.

  2. I actually really like to have a big plate of spaghetti and be really full afterwards. But that has consequence for my lunch and breakfast during the way which includes walking and cycling usually. A second lunch is not unEuropean, the french often have a late afternoon snack when they dine late. Most calories are burned by just keeping the body going, even when it is sitting down, exercise is good but intake is a far greater factor overall when it comes to weight. But a fitter body burns calories better sitting on the couch eating crisps too.
