Completed the Camino Primitivo walking route across 6 running days (as opposed to the standard 13 walking days).

Breakdown as follows:

 Day 1: Oviedo>Salas; ➡️48k; ⬆️1.5k; 🕓6hrs 
Day 2: >Pola de Allende; ➡️47.5k; ⬆️2k; 🕓6h40m 
Day 3: >Fonsagrada;➡️65k; ⬆️3.2k; 🕓9h40m 
Day 4: >Lugo; ➡️55.5k; ⬆️1.6k; 🕓7h50m 
Day 5: >Melide; ➡️47.5k; ⬆️1.1k; 🕓6h15m 
Day 6: >Santiago; ➡️53.5k; ⬆️1.1k; 🕓6h40m

Fantastic running with days 1-5 seeing very few people (until the congruence of Caminos in Melide). All running days achievable and enjoyable, but day 3 was a notable challenge with significant distance, 3 climbs (2 lengthy ones in particular) and the only running day that combined three walking days. 

Would highly recommend this run to any multi-day ultra-runners.
