WAI2k 50k: 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 7h39 to 4h47, and the aid-station stop budget from 0h17 to 0h06. The longer the race, the more stops weigh: this is time you should plan to spend standing still, not only running.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 7h39 | 0h17 | 1 | 459 g | 5.4 L | 3,824 mg |
| 550 | 6h50 | 0h13 | 1 | 410 g | 4.8 L | 3,415 mg |
| 600 | 6h13 | 0h11 | 1 | 373 g | 4.3 L | 3,105 mg |
| 650 | 5h46 | 0h09 | 1 | 346 g | 4 L | 2,885 mg |
| 700 | 5h23 | 0h08 | 1 | 323 g | 3.8 L | 2,688 mg |
| 750 | 5h04 | 0h07 | 1 | 304 g | 3.6 L | 2,536 mg |
| 800 | 4h47 | 0h06 | 1 | 287 g | 3.3 L | 2,389 mg |
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.
