🎯 Training Considerations for This Race
Hill Training Required
With 4 500m of elevation gain, incorporate hill repeats 1-2x per week. Focus on both uphill power and controlled downhill running.
Heat Preparation
Average race-day temperature is 38°C. Train in similar conditions when possible. Plan extra hydration and consider an earlier start pace.
Trail-Ready Gear
The course includes trail surfaces. Train on similar terrain and consider trail shoes for better grip.
Racing in Ouarzazate
Arrive at least 2 days early to adjust. Ouarzazate is in the africa timezone — factor in jet lag if traveling far.
