My wife and I walked it in 12 days in the fall of 2018 at ages 59 and 58.
No rest days and it didn't feel at all rushed to us. First few days are quite hilly, but not too bad.
By far our favorite Camino out of the seven we have walked.

I walked past Salas to Bodenaya, then on day three on to Casa Pascal (just before Borres). That's one day faster than the...
This week I start Oviedo > SdC, with 12 days to do it. And I'd love to take a zero day in Lugo... so 11 days of walking. I'm fit and have past Camino experience.
For those that have walked Oviedo > SdC in 12 days:
