His goal is to complete the entire route running, solo, and self-sufficiently. This means he will do so with no external support and carrying his own equipment for the entire journey. Each day he hopes to cover around 100 kilometres, more than two marathons a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abFor many people, the Camino is a space for slowing down and for reflection,\u00bb says Van Nispen. \u00abFor me, that same reflection happens in motion. With every kilometre, I get a little closer to myself.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Camino-bewegwijzering.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From burnout syndrome to extreme adventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge reflects Van Nispen\u2019s personal journey.
