What this race demands
This certified marathon demands sustained aerobic capacity and structural durability to cover the full 42.2-kilometer distance over road surfaces.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 42.2 kilometers requires a well-developed aerobic base capable of maintaining a steady pace over multiple hours of continuous running.
Musculoskeletal durability
The repetitive impact of a full marathon distance demands high muscular and connective tissue resilience to resist fatigue and breakdown in the later stages.
Given the duration of a full marathon exceeding 2.5 hours, athletes should aim for an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels.
