What this race demands
This marathon covers a standard 42.195 km distance on an urban course in Taipei during the winter season.
Aerobic Endurance
Covering the full 42.195 km marathon distance requires sustained cardiovascular capacity and muscular stamina over several hours of continuous running.
Pacing Discipline
Maintaining an even effort across a city-center route demands strict adherence to pacing strategies to avoid early fatigue before the final kilometers.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour starting from the early stages of the race to sustain energy output over the marathon duration.
