What this race demands

PolimiRun demands the sustained speed and threshold endurance required to race a 10 km distance across an urban route in Milan.

Threshold endurance

Covering 10 km continuously requires maintaining a high fraction of VO2 max and managing lactate accumulation from the start.

Pacing discipline

The fixed 10 km distance demands even splits to avoid early burnout on city streets between university campuses.
