Long runs are getting longer ahead of my June 1st Race in the Cumbrian Fells, but today's was a bit on the low side for me, a bit too almost hypo.
Followed the normal pattern of a good sized breakfast of a bowl of porridge with dried fruit for 50g carbs, 1 U levemir (normal 3.5), 1 U novorapid (vs 3.5 for that meal) before setting out.
Went like this, testing every 5km
Distance, BG, carbs eaten
Pre 13.5
5km 4.6, 30g
10km 5.1, 13g
15km 4.7, 30g
20km 4.6, 18g
25km 4.6, 18g
30km 4.2, 13g
32km 4.6, 30g plus 0.5U novorapid
+40min 7.8
+70 min 8.2
Looking at that, that's about 40g carbs per hour. Think I need a bit more at the pace I was running, or drop the basal back to 0.5U
