Type 2 Marathon training T2

[Griffomarkii]

Hello,

I’ve been a T2 diabetic for 14 years and I am running my first marathon in September.

I am currently carb cycling / low carbing to help lose weight (110kg to 101kg so far) along with strength training to help with hip issues.

I am running a marathon in September and looking for some advice regarding gels or recommendations of how best to fuel for the long runs / race.

Any help and advice welcome

Iain

Hi, no gels! Evil things for us, just eat nuts on long runs, you can run marathons without carbs.

good luck
