This day is mostly about stamina. It’s a long stage of around 34 kilometres, running alongside the Ebro reservoir. You’ll be on the move for well over 9 hours. The water gives the morning a sense of space and calm, but the route keeps going up and down. You’ll feel it in your legs later.
Pace yourself, eat on time and take breaks before you need them. In the last part of the day it’s no longer about speed, but about keeping going. Olea is above all the place where your rucksack can finally come off and your feet don’t have to do anything for a while. You’ve earned it.
Take it easy, my friend. You have the whole day.
