[QUOTE="copepod, post: 198365, member: 21372"] I also run distances of several km, usually in orienteering context, so not flat out. On a linear course, I never know how far or how long I will run, and on a score course, while I can be fairly sure how long I will run (typically 60 mins), I can't be sure how much distance I will cover. So, I have to ensure that I have my last short acting shot at least 3 hours before running, start with blood sugar of about 12.Xmmol/l, and usually have a handful of jelly babies after about 30mins, and more if still out at 60mins, plus have more jelly babies after finishing. If I know far enough in advance, I will reduce long acting dose(s) before running - I take Humalin I at morning and at bedtime, which gives more chance to fine tune. If my blood sugar is as low as 7mmol/l before starting, I'll need some jelly babies before starting - the beauty of low key orienteering is that starts happen when you stick your dibber in the SI box, so there's not problem having say a 15 min delay while the sugar gets into my system. In higher standard pre-entry events, start times are predetermined, so there's less flexibility. [/QUOTE]
