Ultra endurance
Ultra endurance refers to athletic activities that involve continuous exertion over extremely long distances and durations, typically exceeding the standard marathon length of 26.2 miles. Examples include 50-mile, 100-mile races, or multi-day events. Participants rely on exceptional physical stamina, mental resilience, strategic pacing, nutrition, and hydration to maintain performance over extended periods. These events often test the limits of human endurance, requiring advanced training and preparation to manage fatigue, energy levels, and recovery, making ultra endurance a demanding challenge that pushes athletes well beyond traditional endurance events.
