[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1393259, member: 32394"] I can't run when high, my legs feel like lead and it completely wipes my motivation! So I tend to do long runs first thing in the morning, when I've got no insulin on board and I've eaten some uncovered carbs, set off when I'm 6+ and rising and the run levels off the rise. Take test kit and hypo treatment with you (phone and an alert bracelet if youre running on your own). I'm up to 11 miles at the moment, bath half on 12/3. I try to test at mile 7 or 8, and might need to have some haribo then. But most of the ladies I'm running with are taking on gels or drinks of some kind, so it's really not much different. I use a CGM and that helps with telling me if I need to stop and test and eat. I've been trying to experiment with HIIT sprints to bump up blood sugars during a run. But realistically my legs are too knackered for me to manage anything approaching anaerobic exercise at mile 7! But all of my running gear has got haribo or jelly tots floating around and I can eat them while running (at a sedate aerobic pace). [/QUOTE]
