Below a UTMB® Index of roughly 360, the overall cut-off of 30h00 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 23h42 | 1h20 | 10 | 1,422 g | 16.6 L | 11,846 mg | +6h18 |
| 550 | 22h03 | 1h06 | 10 | 1,323 g | 15.4 L | 11,028 mg | +7h57 |
| 600 | 19h41 | 0h53 | 7.7 | 1,181 g | 13.8 L | 9,840 mg | +10h19 |
| 650 | 17h58 | 0h44 | 6 | 1,078 g | 12.6 L | 8,980 mg | +12h02 |

Figures based on 60 g of carbohydrate, 700 mL of fluid and 500 mg of sodium per hour, "average" preparation and mild conditions (15–25 °C). Above 25 °C, count on roughly 900 mL/h and 700 mg/h. Carbohydrate intake is trained: 60 g/h is a floor, 90 g/h assumes a glucose-fructose blend and a gut used to it.
