Eventually, I went back to running 30 seconds and walking 30 seconds, then keeping those “short” intervals and extending my run. In early fall 2019, I was attempting a couch-to-5k type program where I would extend my running intervals even longer, but I still had subsequent injuries (a very stubborn big toe joint, then intermetatarsal bursitis in TWO spots (argh)) that made this not work well. I progressed, doing a short run interval followed by a walk interval, increasing the total numbers of intervals, and then slowly progressing to extend the length (distance and/or time) of the running intervals. I broke my ankle in January 2019 and began running very tiny amounts (literally down the block to start) in summer 2019. I also ran a 50k ultra using the same methods!)įirst up, some context that explains why I chose run-walking as my method of running a marathon (as that also influences fueling choices) and what it is like to be a slow marathon runner (6 hour marathon ish). And despite running it with type 1 diabetes, I had no issues managing my blood sugars during even the longest training runs, even with significantly less fuel than is typically used by marathon runners. There’s a bit of all of this in the post! ( But TLDR – I ran my marathon (finally), successfully, despite having a previously broken ankle. *Update: also running an ultramarathon with the same methods (less fuel than typical)! Running a marathon and training for a marathon and going without fuel or less fuel.Running a marathon with type 1 diabetes, or running an ultra with type 1 diabetes.Running with the “Galloway method”, also known as run-walk or run/walk methods for marathon or similar long distances – but with information about run-walking for slow runners.
