[QUOTE="Franc D, post: 2199369, member: 518713"] Over the last year I’ve turned into a keen runner completing the Great Scottish run half marathon and a number of 10k road races. I’m training for the London 2020 marathon in April, currently up to 2nr 10k midweek runs and half marathon distance at the weekend at a time of around 2hrs 5 mins which I’m happy with. for the longer run I find starting with a normal level BG and having a light breakfast and NO insulin works well although I do get a spike that naturally comes down as the run goes on with it about normal levels at time of finishing.....I always carry my insulin though with SIS sport gels if I need them...... This is fine for me at half marathon distance but for full marathon I’ll need to adjust as it’s important that the muscles get fuel they need which we can’t do without some insulin.....just entering the longer “experimental” phase....
