[QUOTE="minimam, post: 555024, member: 100688"] Hi After some advice regarding what to eat before a run. I'm controlling my T2 successfully with diet (LCHF) and exercise. I joined a beginners running club 3 months ago and I'm amazed at how I have improved. I do two session a week and can now run 4 1/2 miles without stopping :) Wednesday night was my first 41/2 mile run but found it very difficult, I've got my breathing sorted but my legs felt like lead ha. Next Wednesday we are going to be doing 5 miles and leader of group is hoping we will be doing 12 min miles :( I think my problem is energy related. I go for my run at 7pm and have not eaten since lunchtime. What should I be eating on my run days to help me?. I'm well impressed with myself, have gone from zero running to 4 1/2 miles in 12 weeks. I'm 54 and running with other beginners much younger than me. Any advice greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
