Ultra Running With Diabetes - What It Can Teach Us About Nutrition For Long Runs


Listen Later

Jon and Amie explore the challenges of running ultra marathons with Type 1 Diabetes and what it can teach us all on nutrition and avoiding the dreaded 'bonk'. We explore this over Jon's last three races, the Autumn 100, Arc50 and TGC Advanced 82k. 

We draw out what the more detailed data and insights Jon has into his blood glucose levels, using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and what it means for fueling which can be used by non-diabetics with Amie also sharing her views on nutrition strategies and the pros and cons of different options. 

This is a really informative discussion for diabetics and non-diabetics alike and gives a great window into the challenges diabetics face and what can be achieved.
