What this race demands

The Hangzhou Marathon demands sustained pacing and metabolic control over a standard 42.195 km distance with minimal elevation change.

Aerobic endurance

The full marathon distance requires continuous cardiovascular output for several hours without significant recovery intervals.

Pacing discipline

The flat profile of 131 meters of elevation gain across 42.195 km requires strict adherence to an even split to prevent late-race muscular fatigue.

Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour starting in the first hour to maintain glycogen stores over the marathon duration.
