Aerobic endurance
Covering the full 42.2 kilometers requires a well-developed aerobic base capable of maintaining forward progress over hours of continuous running.
Muscular durability

Given the duration of a standard marathon, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the race.
