Out running with friends tonight - talking nutrition. I have found that I have about 45 mins of blood sugar going mega high (as glycogen stores release) levelling off and then boom drop starts. I have dabbled with jelly babies etc as need about 15 gs carbs per half hour. Friends mention working in heart rate zones to burn fat not carbs so you can keep going without topping up. By coincidence husband showed me a feed fro someone who has just gone up everest without oxygen by becoming a fat burner rather than carb burner. I am type 1 and have been on the blood sugar roller coaster of running - I have to put up with being really high fir about 30 mins to then praying that the blood sugar I have left and the carbs I shovel in are enough to get me through the next hour or more . I laugh but it's hard work. This fat burning seems like it would be an answer I think I have seen a few others mention it - has anyone tried it?
