Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Ealing Half Marathon requires sustained aerobic endurance over a fully road-closed 21.1-kilometer distance through West London.
Aerobic Capacity
Covering 21.1 kilometers requires a high fractional utilization of VO2 max and a strong lactate threshold to maintain an even pace throughout the half marathon distance.
Impact Durability
Running entirely on paved roads for over twenty kilometers demands robust musculoskeletal resilience to withstand repetitive ground reaction forces.
A half marathon typically takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, so aim for 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour starting early in the race to maintain blood glucose.
