Hello!
I began running in 2023 and am pleased to report that it has gone well. I recently ran a 10k and have registered for the Farnborough Winter Half Marathon in January.
I've learned to appreciate how difficult it is to train with T1D - both mentally and physically - throughout my training. I've also noticed that while there are numerous running groups in the area, none of them support runners with T1D (which can make training feel quite isolating). I'm hoping to reach out to runners with T1D in my area and ask if they'd be interested in joining a running group in Southampton where you can meet and train with other diabetics!
It would be great to start a group with likeminded individuals with diabetes to train and discusses the challenges that come with it.
