Course elevation profile, 8× vertical exaggeration Elevation along the course from km 0 to km 113. The trace runs between 565 and 1675 metres, a range of 1110 metres, drawn at 8 times vertical exaggeration so the shape is legible. Smoothed over 1 km before this profile was derived. An unsmoothed urban surface carries the buildings and would assert a climb that is not there. The dashed stretches are bridge decks: Hans-Psenner-Steg, km 2.1 to 2.1; (unnamed span), km 15.7 to 15.9; Moossteig, km 42.2 to 42.3; Rohrbrücke, km 51.9 to 52; Trientinerbrücke, km 59.4 to 59.6; Innsteg, km 92.8 to 92.9; (unnamed span), km 100.4 to 100.5; Hans-Psenner-Steg, km 111.4 to 111.5. A bare-earth model reads the ground or the water beneath a bridge, not the deck the runner is on, so those runs are interpolated between the ground either side rather than measured, and they under-report the real climb across a span.

Race fuel

Gels for Innsbruck, between the aid stations

Over 100 km a gel every 40 minutes stops being a plan: most runners eat real food at the aid stations and take gels between. Practise what you will eat on your longest runs.

Our pick: SiS BETA Fuel gel, box of 6, strawberry and lime. 40 g of carbohydrate a gel, about twice a usual gel, from two kinds of sugar your body takes up side by side.

Easy to forget on race morning: pack them with your bib the night before.
