What this race demands
The Maratona de Salvador requires sustained aerobic endurance to cover the 42.2 km coastal distance on a predominantly flat course.
Aerobic Endurance
Completing the full marathon distance of 42.2 km demands a deeply developed aerobic engine capable of continuous running for hours.
Pacing Discipline
The flat coastal profile encourages even pacing, requiring athletes to hold a steady rhythm without the relief of major climbs or descents.
Durability
The repetitive impact of the marathon distance places significant stress on the musculoskeletal system, demanding robust tissue resilience.
Given a marathon duration that typically exceeds 2.5 hours for most runners, aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain glycogen stores.
