What this race demands
The Volksbank-Münster-Marathon requires sustained pacing across a full marathon distance over a mixed urban and scenic course. Athletes must maintain steady mechanical output for over four hours of continuous running.
Aerobic endurance
The 42.2 km distance demands robust cardiovascular capacity and efficient energy utilization to sustain running output over several hours without sharp declines in pace.
Musculoskeletal durability
Running a full marathon requires high impact tolerance in the lower limbs to withstand thousands of repeated ground-reaction forces, particularly during the latter urban and scenic sections.
Given the duration of a full marathon, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour from easily digestible sources to maintain glycogen availability and stable output.
