What this race demands
This 50-kilometer walking event demands sustained muscular endurance and rigorous pacing to complete the distance within the 12-hour limit.
Sustained Endurance
Covering 50 kilometers requires maintaining forward progression over many hours, placing continuous stress on the lower body and aerobic system.
Pacing Discipline
The 12-hour time limit for the 50-kilometer distance requires a consistent average speed and efficient management of rest stops.
Given the extended duration likely exceeding five hours, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the walk.
