Tarawera Ultra-Trail - TMiler: times, aid-station stops and fuelling needs by UTMB® Index
Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 29h17 to 17h01, and the aid-station stop budget from 0h00 to 0h00. The longer the race, the more stops weigh: this is time you should plan to spend standing still, not only running.
SourceBelow a UTMB® Index of roughly 340, the overall cut-off of 36h00 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 29h17 | 0h00 | 13 | 1,757 g | 20.5 L | 14,642 mg | +6h43 |
| 550 | 26h16 | 0h00 | 12.3 | 1,576 g | 18.4 L | 13,133 mg | +9h44 |
| 600 | 23h13 | 0h00 | 9.2 | 1,393 g | 16.3 L | 11,608 mg | +12h47 |
| 650 | 21h01 | 0h00 | 7 | 1,261 g | 14.7 L | 10,508 mg | +14h59 |
| 700 | 20h19 | 0h00 | 6.3 | 1,219 g | 14.2 L | 10,158 mg | +15h41 |
| 750 | 17h59 | 0h00 | 4 | 1,079 g | 12.6 L | 8,992 mg | +18h01 |
| 800 | 17h01 | 0h00 | 3 | 1,021 g | 11.9 L | 8,508 mg | +18h59 |
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.
