[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 650532, member: 97084"] Here's what got me really thinking about this: after my long runs in half marathon training, I've been finishing on a blood gluose of between 5 and 7. If my longer run was 8 miles or more, I've actually been seeing more of a rise in my blood sugars post exercise. It becomes quite a dramatic rise, actually. Rather than seeing a falling blood glucose after a long run, I've been having to manage my post exercise BG by taking insulin to stop it going into the 20s. Now it will start to crash 90 minutes later, but that crash can be managed by taking on carbohydrates. This starts to make sense if you consider that those longer runs were being done at an anaerobic pace! Logically I suspect that, at an aerobic pace, I would be far less likely to see this problem.
