Hello
I am 52 years old and have been type 1 diabetic for 29 years. As a child I was a very good runner and ran for England.
Over the years I have started running (usually lasts for a couple of months) and am currently running 3/4 times a week and have been doing so for about 5 weeks. I am trying not to get competitive, as it affects my BS levels too much. I want to run to keep fit and healthy and help to lower my blood pressure. What I would like to know is, “Why do my legs feel heavy when I run”. Is this anything diabetes related because I would have thought after 6 weeks it should be easing now?
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated thank you.
