[QUOTE="amar1921, post: 1585392, member: 116021"] I have done almost 3 half marathons (saying almost 3 as two of them I fully did, and other one this summer I had to cancel as got diagnosed with mononucleosis two days before running, but went full preparations and had that distance in my legs...). Firstly, connected with this topic you can find really a lot information, personal experiences and medical advice all over the internet, but all the important things you are gonna see during practice and how actually your body react to different changes. From my experience, I would say that level of blood sugar before starting should be little bit higher than usual, let's say 180-210. But the biggest problem for me actually was time after race than during the actual running. I was fully equipped with energy gels, glucose tabs, taking juices every few kilometers, so levels were actually in range. But when I stopped with running, I remember that I had some kind of "permanent hypo" which lasted for 2 hours, where no matter what I put in my mouth, after 10 minutes I would go low again. You have more than enough time to prepare, and to explore your body limits [/QUOTE]
