[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 649568, member: 97084"] I don't have a good grasp on the science behind this, so forgive me if what I'm asking doesn't make sense. I was wondering if any diabetics have seen a bit of a change in their BGs after doing this type of training? Was having a read through this article: [url]http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/running-training-maf-method/[/url] It argues that, if you run anaerobically "because your body turns to sugar instead of fat for fuel, it’s harder to maintain stable blood sugar levels and avoid glycogen depletion." Obviously that's applied in the general sense though. I think most of, if not all of my running has been anaerobic up to this point, even during some of the longer slower runs in half marathon training. (I learned to slow down after trying to do them too quick at first!) My HR for a recent run at 9 minute mile pace averaged a HR of 170, hitting 160 and going up a few minutes in. I'm 27, 9 minute mile pace would be a relatively slow pace in training for me. I can imagine other factors may confound the data on this, but would be nice to know what others have experienced to have some idea of what to expect with this type of training. [/QUOTE]
