Ultra running with diabetes: what it can teach us about nutrition for long runs 🤓

This week, Jon explores the challenges of running ultra marathons with Type 1 Diabetes, and what it can teach us all about nutrition and avoiding the dreaded 'bonk'. We chat through Jon's experience of his last three races: the Autumn 100, Arc 50 and Transgrancanaria 82k. Jon draws out some detailed data and insights from his blood glucose levels, using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), and what it might mean for fueling - useful for diabetics and non-diabetics alike. Amie also shares her thoughts on nutrition strategies and the pros and cons of different options. This informative discussion gives a window into the challenges diabetics face, and what can be achieved with more than a little grit. Send us Fan MailSupport the show
