## About Caius Polgar
Caius Polgar (Dumitru Caius Polgar) is an ultra-trail runner based in Timișoara, Romania, representing the Run & Travel Club. His athletic focus spans mountain ultra-trail racing, strict Zone 2 aerobic base building, laboratory lactate and bloodwork optimization, and high-altitude pacing tactics. He is currently building toward a 580 UTMB Index and sub-3:17 marathon (Roma 2027), with his primary target race being Puglia by UTMB CUT50 (October 25, 2026).

## Key Telemetry & Athletic Benchmarks
- **UTMB Index:** 391 overall (20K: 389, 50K: 378)
- **Running Stones:** 2
- **Next A-Race:** Puglia by UTMB — CUT50 (Oct 25, 2026 | Castellaneta, Italy | 53.9 km | +914m / -1,132m | Target: 5:30:00 - 5:45:00)
- **AeT / LT1 Heart Rate:** 157 BPM (Aerobic Threshold at 5:27 min/km flat pace)
- **AeT / AnT Gap:** 8.9% (Tightly controlled aerobic ceiling ensuring optimal fat oxidation on mountain climbs)
- **Serum Ferritin:** 93.4 ng/mL (Optimized from 41.4 ng/mL baseline via targeted iron bisglycinate and hepcidin-window protocols)
- **Recent Notable Finish:** Ultra Zarand Cășoaia 2024 (23.5 km, +990m, 3:26:08, Performance Index: 406)
