Endurance running and sugar sensitivity
Could anyone help me tweak my eating plan as I make my return to distance running now knowing that I am a recovering sugar addict? I have been off sugar now for a while and am doing well, so I am now healthy enough (also because of going on meds for hypothyroid) to return to distance running. However, I want to make certain I make the right food choices and time my eating properly to keep the ol' blood sugar on an even keel. I will start out slow and keep the distances short, but I intend to train for half marathons. Therefore, I'll be increasing my workout time to hopefully stay on my feet for 1 to 2 hours at a time. I'd love to hear from other runners/athletes. Any suggestions would be so very welcome! Thanks so much!
