How It Works

Calculate optimal gel/sports drink intake intervals for a marathon based on target race pace, body weight, and sweat rate to prevent glycogen depletion and maintain optimal hydration

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Target race pace — The target race pace recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Body weight — The body weight recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sweat rate — The sweat rate recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the marathon fueling result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use
