[QUOTE="Fenn, post: 1849526, member: 474433"] Hmmm, six miles shouldnt need feeding in my opinion, your doing it fast but eat during the run? After 45 mhr anything you eat will bypass your blood sugar levels and will turn into instant energy but after the heart rate drops you will spike and i doubt 6 miles is take that long if your quick, I couldn't eat before running early morning but if your running at 11am, could you not eat at 6am without any ill effect? I found coffee was a killer before running, I would stop that for sure, coffe has a really interesting effect on us but its temporary, maybe its effects are ending during the run? Maybe worth a try? I honestly dont think carbs are the answer, i accepted half a banana from a kind stranger at mile 20ish at london and it gave me terrible stitch and messed me up energy wise, i used to have a small bag of cashews for long runs but 6 miles is way to short to worry about eating, or at least it was for me. Have you had a look at [URL="http://www.runsweet.com"]www.runsweet.com[/URL], it is aimed at type 1’s but has some very useful info, you may findsomething on there that could help? Have you a heart monitor? Im not saying anything but you should monitor your heart via a garmin watch or the likes, you can download a graph afterward just to be sure its not the ticker sapping your energy. Sorry I havent been much help, Best of luck, Impossible is a lie! [/QUOTE]
