Anyone had elevated blood sugars for a few days post race?
I've noticed it with the shorter stuff in particular. Had a Half Marathon on Sunday, and had the usual adrenaline effects during the race and immediately post race. For Monday though I wok up at 7.5, whereas normally it's nearer 5.5, astayed higher during the day. Also drifted back higher Sunday afternoon after the post-race drop.
Seems back to normal today at 5.3 on waking.
I was wondering whether this could be the effect of cortisol and similar stress hormones?
Haven't had the same with the longer, slower stuff.
