Standardization of glucose levels after and during a 100-mile ultramarathon. The course was divided into 9 segments (① ~ ⑨, vertical dashed line) by 8 aid stations. The altitude profile is shown on the right vertical axis and filled area. A representative result of monitoring glucose levels is shown on the left vertical axis and solid line. ⊿Glucose level was expressed by subtracting the resting glucose level in each runner (horizontal dashed line). In each segment, * indicates the highest ⊿glucose, † indicates the lowest ⊿glucose, and double lines indicate average ⊿glucose levels.
