What this race demands
This fifty-kilometer walking event demands sustained lower-body endurance and the ability to maintain locomotion for up to twelve hours.
Sustained endurance
Covering fifty kilometers requires continuous forward progress for many hours, placing a heavy load on aerobic capacity and muscular stamina.
Time management
The twelve-hour completion limit requires a steady pace and efficient movement through checkpoints to avoid falling behind schedule.
Given the duration of up to twelve hours, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-stage fatigue.
