[QUOTE="Loubean10, post: 2088459, member: 508374"] Evening, first post , type 1 diabetic for 45years and now on a pump . I would not call myself a runner( but my husband is !!!) however over the last 7 years I have slowly progressed from walking a 5 k to being able to do it in 31min ( without stopping ), if you desperately want to go faster join a local running club and I would suggest the best way to find a good local club is go to parkrun . It’s a free to enter 5 k run , but you can run, jog , walk or a mixture of all 3 . There are fast very good club runners there but also the walkers and everything in between. It’s very friendly and you will soon get to know other runners of your own speed and get encouragement. Plus a good idea of the best running club for what you need . I have had to stop for chronic fatigue but still get my “parkrun “ buzz by volunteering every couple of months. I would any body wanting a bit of regular exercise to sign up and join parkrun, they are all over the country and so friendly, supportive and fun . [/QUOTE]
