Nutrition for Ultramarathon Running: Trail, Track, and Road

Abstract: Ultramarathon running events and participation numbers have increased progressively over the past three decades. Besides the exertion of prolonged running with or without a loaded pack, such events are often associated with challenging topography, environmental conditions, acute transient lifestyle discomforts, and/or event-related health complications. These factors create a scenario for greater nutritional needs, while predisposing ultramarathon runners to multiple nutritional intake barriers. The current re… Show more

“…Theme 5. Competition Fuel Needs for Longer Events Costa et al, 2019) Most of the power used in long and ultradistance events is provided by oxidative fuel-generating pathways. As CHO is a more economical fuel source than fat (i.e., it produces great amounts of adenosine triphosphate for a given amount of oxygen) and can produce adenosine triphosphate via oxygen-independent pathways, it becomes the dominant fuel source at higher intensities.…”

“…Off-road (e. g. unsealed surface and natural environment) running events have become increasingly popular and participation has grown substantially in recent years with many new races appearing around the world [1][2][3][4]. Trail running, for example, as the most popular off-road running sport, has grown considerably from approximately 4.8 million participants in 2009 to 9.1 million in 2017 in the US alone [5].…”

“…For example, ultramarathons, which are defined by a distance longer than the standard marathon distance of 42.195 km, can either take place on tarmac roads (e. g. paved, etc. ), an athletic track, or off-road [2]. An ultramarathon held off-road can be considered trail running, fell running, or skyrunning, depending on the specifics of distance, terrain, and elevation change.…”
