Enrosadira Trail 20K Corto

Race strategy

Run easy on the first mountain, then go all out on the second.

• 354m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
• Final 704m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
• Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the way down from it until 7.5km, then run your race pace, and start the final descent from 13.3km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
• Start · 0.0km–1.8km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
• Settle in · 1.8km–7.5km · Climb of 581m, descent of 354m averaging 13%. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them.
• Work · 7.5km–13.3km · Climb of 523m, high point 2048m. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
• Home · 13.3km–21.1km · Descent of 704m averaging 9%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end.
