I have no idea how to train with the big D involved, but I guess I will learn as I go! I hope to hear insight as you begin training too!!Today's Triumphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900366226912604392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-68508623274403540422011-01-18T18:41:14.952-06:002011-01-18T18:41:14.952-06:00Hi Kim, I run half and full marathons with a pump,...Hi Kim, I run half and full marathons with a pump, and do some funky stuff with my basals. It'd take WAY too long to post it, but basically I turn my basal off for a couple hours, and then put on a little bit on (about 30%) for the first 6 miles, then 100-120% depending on what my BG is at 6 miles to finish a half marathon. I've had to tweak that method some though, as I've gotten more used to running them. I eat a snack at mile 6. of a granola bar and juicebox, and usually end up right around 100-120 afterward. Then afterward I take a bolus of about .5-1 unit because I've had a temp basal on for a while. It sounds crazy but usually works! GOOD LUCK!

I have done a lot of experimenting with my basal rates and foods before, during, and after exercise. I do lots of bike racing, even some up to 6 hours, and would be happy to help if you need anything! Good Luck!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154810728796745227noreply@blogger.com
