Ultra Run (Type 1) - TRAILER

This episode follows MJ on their running journey from diagnosis to their first trail marathon, this weekend in Marysville VIC. Hear about their successes, failures, the finish lines they cross and the start lines they don't make it to as they manage their type 1 diabetes and take on new challenges each year.

Welcome to Ultra Run (Type 1) Join me on my personal journey of training runs and races, sugar highs and sugar lows… successes, and setbacks as I train for my Ultra marathons while managing type 1 diabetes

After being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 5 years ago, I started running. At first, it was very gradual and cautious as I was highly insulin sensitive, and any type of exercise was quite scary.  The post exercise low blood sugar was quite intense, and it took a while to feel in control.  But once I got out there on the roads, paths, and trails, I knew I had caught the bug, and now I constantly find myself asking... what's next? Join me on my journey to complete my first 100-mile multi day ultra marathon in 2024, all whilst managing type 1 diabetes.
