[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1531957, member: 32394"] Hi [USER=397387]@Bon83[/USER] Ive got a half marathon on 27 August, it's just a road run. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try a trial run! I've done my last long run, of 13.2 miles, this morning. Unbolused for cheese and peanutbutter for breakfast, 9.1 leaving, 5.3 returning, CGM thought I was lower and had suspended my pump for the last 30 minutes or so. I've been trying to do a 12 mile long run on a Sunday for the last 4/5 weeks. I will maybe do 7/8 miles next week and enjoy tapering! I'm not sure you need tips on motivation to get through 8 miles on the day. The fact it's the big day and there will be a load of people all on the same course, all with the same goal will keep you going no problem. Diabetes tips is: have a hypo treatment and test kit with you, follow organiser instructions on notifying and signalling medical conditions. The last half I did said anyone with medical conditions should write a cross on the front of their race number, so I had a cross with T1DM on it, and more detailed medical info on the back of the race number. Don't change anything dramatic for race day, eat what you normally eat and know works for you on your normal long run days. Make sure to have fun doing it! [/QUOTE]
