Episode 12 - Running with chronic illness

Everyone has considerations in their running - from footwear, to mileage, to hydration and nutrition…but what if you have a chronic health challenge? How do you manage that additional, sometimes debilitating hurdle in your training? On this episode host Dan Deane talks about living and running with Type 1 Diabetes, and his running Coach Jim Finlayson (elite Victoria runner, coach, and former Beer Mile world record holder!) shares his journey with Multiple Sclerosis. We also recap the Cobble Hill 10K and talk about the awesome weirdness of Burrito League!  The Rundown - upcoming races and events:  Feb 8 - Hatley Castle 8K – https://www.islandseries.org/Feb 22 - Bastion 12K - https://www.islandseries.org/product/bastion-12k/Feb 28 – Seymour Bloom Trail Race - https://bit.ly/3ZjESc7 (waitlist)April 26 – TC10K - https://www.runsport.ca/tc10k The Island Miles Podcast wants to hear from YOU!
