The First Type 1 Diabetic to Run Across England - Jonty Brown


Listen Later

Jonty Brown is a type 1 diabetic who has achieved some awesome things in spite of his condition. Jonty is a European record holder in The Speed Project, has completed a self supported 100km run and holds the accolade of being the first type 1 diabetic to run across England. If this sounds remarkable enough, consider that all of this has been achieved in just a few years of running.

In this conversation, we discuss Jonty's life with diabetes, how he challenges himself to do crazy things, raising money for the diabetes charity JDRF, how he completed his epic coast to coast run, and, how and why he devotes so much of his time to sharing advice about running with diabetes online.
