We’re planning on making more, now that the weather feels better, thanks

Thank you, it’s hard to find videos on type 2 diabetics that train in running or cycling, mostly type 1 diabetics, so I figured I would try and make some videos. Please still see your doctor for professional advice, this is what I do for me, and I’m still trying to see what works better. Thanks again

Thanks for watching, I’m presently going to the VA for my meds and Dr. visits. I started running now and that also helps me with my A1C . Staying hydrated also helps with your blood sugar, thanks again.

Thanks for watching, I have started running at 61 years old and it’s harder that cycling for me but that has also helped me with my blood sugar, my A1C was at 6 about a month ago , but still struggle to find a good source of fuel for those long training days . Thanks again

@@jylromain6439 thanks for watching

Thank you for watching my video, I started running more than cycling now and have been running for almost a year. I’ve run 1/2 marathon about a month ago and I’m scheduled for a marathon in December of 24, but not sure I’m gonna run it . In the meantime I want to do more cycling and cycling videos. Thanks again for all the kind words, and keep cycling it will definitely pay off in the long run, I wish you the best, stay safe.

Ok , I’ll check it out, thx

Thank you, brother@@stevosUSN...

Thank you for your service, I’m also a veteran (Navy). Thanks for watching our little video we appreciate it. I’ll go over to your channel and check it out and subscribe.

Thank you so much❤

Thank you

Thanks for watching my videos, good luck to you on your Ironman. Stay safe.

​@@stevosUSNThank you! Keep pushing and inspiring others and help break the stigmas of someone that is a type 2!!

Howdy from Dallas too!

Hi, it’s great to have you, we’re just a small channel, husband and wife out doing adventures, ill surly check out your channel, thanks for watching.

Thank you

We live in Rockport.

Change line yearly.

Thanks, I heard that squeak on the video , I keep forgetting to rinse them off after fishing. Thanks for watching.

Lube your reels before next outing. Enjoy!

I love catching and eating whitting too, I just have caught any lately.

Thanks for watching.

I was a little nervous at first and some obstacles were harder than others, the one I thought we’re going to be easy were hard and the ones I thought were going to be hard were easy. I would like to do another one. Good luck to you and have fun, you’re gonna love it.

Thanks for watching. Let me know when you’re going camping or fishing.

Yes, I’ve noticed that . Same thing would happen when I used to bike.

Yea, I’ll be taking my own gels/nutrition , I just need to watch those sports drinks cause of the carbs. I’m documenting my runs and bs in my running journal. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Congratulations on your Half Marathon, what kind of time did you get? . I’m gonna start mixing my water with Nunn hydration tablets, that’s what I used when I would cycle. When I started my Garmin coach training , it gave me an option to select “timed” or “just finished “ , I selected just finish, I have another half magic mile this weekend after a 2.5 mile run/walk. Thanks for watching.

@@stevosUSN I also used the "just finish" option, the slowest time goal was significantly faster than my target. When I started training I just hoped to finish in under 3 hours, but as I improved that became my 'C' goal, with 13 min/mile my 'B' goal, and I hoped to break 2:50 as my 'A' goal. My actual time was 2:46:17, with a negative split and most of the uphills at the end of the course, so I did really well, and most importantly enjoyed it without feeling miserable. For the "magic half mile", I continued with the long run after a couple of minutes of recovery. I ended up running 10+ miles for 6 weeks in a row leading up to the race, including my longest one at 13.7 miles (3 weeks before the race), which really helped the race not feel too long, and gave me the confidence that I could cover the distance. Another thing I did change from the prescribed plan: Galloway puts the longest run (14 miles) the week before the race, which for me was too close, I really needed a 10-day taper period. So I shortened it to 9 miles, and ran it in the middle of my Zone 2 heartrate (most of my long runs were low Z2) so it felt closer to race pace without being too taxing.

@@stevosUSN for nutrition, you should check to see what they provide at the aid stations for your target race, if there is going to be anything besides water, and if possible try it out in training to see if it works for you. My race had Nuun endurance formula, which is similar to Tailwind (my preference), and quite different from their hydration product. I also like the Huma gels. But I don't know anything about running with diabetes, so you'll have to figure out a compatible fueling and hydration strategy. I was aiming for 60-75 grams of carbs per hour, and ended up just a bit below that, which gave me plenty of energy to cover the distance.

Thanks for watching

Can’t wait to go on more adventures.

What is amateur radio operations? Sounds like Ham Radio. The trees should be greener by then, we went in February.

@@stevosUSN yes. Ham radio. I operated 20-meter Morse code this afternoon. It’ll be the same tomorrow and Saturday. Ok, I may change bands.

Cool

Your welcome, I'm glad it helped you , Stay safe on the road.

Thank you

I just finished Week 14 yesterday with my longest run ever, 13.7 miles! (12 mi + warmup and cooldown). It's amazing because when I started 5 miles felt very long, now I can do 10 like it's no big deal (as long as I keep it slow and easy). But I did gradually increase the midweek runs from 30 minutes to 45-60 minutes, and sometimes add an extra short easy run on a 4th day. The extra volume during the week seems to make the long runs more manageable.

@@Aardvark007 I can't wait till I'm up to that milage, Is this your 1st half?

@@stevosUSN I did one in high school, but that was many decades ago and didn't go well. Prior to last month, the last time I ran 10 miles was 20 years ago, then I got old and fat and sedentary, so I'm starting from zero. The biggest difference, aside from being a lot slower, is that it takes longer to recover.

@@Aardvark007 I know what you mean, I just started running about 8 months ago, before that it was when I was in the Navy over 40 years ago. Good luck to you.

Wow, congratulations on all your accomplishments. I’ve done a couple century rides in my late 50’s and now that I started running I kinda slowed down on my cycling, for a while I was doing gym , run, and biking at the same time but now I mostly do gym and running. As far as the glucose meter- I’ve asked my VA Dr. but they won’t do that due to cost (they go the cheapest route- metformin), and she said it’s like 200.00 a month to monitor with the glucose meter which is out of my budget. I think I’ll be ok with gels for the half marathon but for the full marathon I’m gonna ask my doctor again about the glucose meter. I swim like a rock so I’m thinking maybe a duathlon in 2025. Good luck in your future ventures and let me know how you do on your marathon, I know you’re gonna kill it .

@@stevosUSN Thanks! A couple of things I've observed as runs got longer is that depending on intensity/duration/temps/humidity etc. is that I needed to watch even the next day or two.. may be lower than "normal" eating the same things or may be higher depending on fueling needs to recover/body stresses or whatever. (same for longer rides) Best of luck with your training/journey! BTW, also being in TX that marathon could be a possibility but leaning to the BMW Dallas (being closer). As you will be doing long runs in TX summer, you will really need to stay on top of hydration and electrolytes (mg. salt, potassium, etc) .

Oh, since using Garmin Connect.. if using a Garmin device, then a nice safety feature some of them have is live tracking. So, you could set it up to send an email to your wife, which has a link to show where you are, speed, hr, etc (available for 24hrs) Combing use of device/phone.

@@DavidC-rt3or yes I’ve used that live tracking before when cycling, and it’s gonna be interesting once summer gets here and I do those long runs . Good luck .

Hey Wartior. 63 yr old, type 2 diabetic here. On more or less the same journey. So happy to start finding this community. I've been struggling with getting my Dr. To write me a prescription for a CGM. I've met other Type 2 Diabetics who utilize a CGM and they say it's a game changer. Any advice?

Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thanks for watching, I did my 1st drills yesterday and it’s only 26 minutes long , 20 of those minutes are warm up and cool down. They do seem short, but I’m gonna stick with it. I was running 12-13 miles a week at zone 2 , so hopefully it works out . If you record your half let me know so I can watch it. Thanks

Thanks for watching ❤

Thanks for watching ❤

Thank you so much , I’ll do the same

@@stevosUSN Thank you bless you both ❤️

It was , thank you for watching

It really is!

I also started running about 6 months ago , it has also helped with my blood sugar. I sign up for a marathon in December of 24, I think it should take me about 6 hours ( I hope), so nutrition is gonna be a challenge. I’m hoping my crew ( my wife) can meet me through out the run to check my blood sugar . Thanks for watching and if you make a video let me know I’d love to watch it, good luck to you- stay safe .

I have 3 other road bikes but this one is the most comfortable, it’s not light or have a lot of gears like my road bikes but it is comfortable, I put mine for sale but thinking of taking it off market place. I just have too many bikes. Thanks for watching and if you make a video let me know .
