Hi,
can anyone offer any advice on keeping energy levels up for about an hours running. I have low blood sugar problems, I am not diabetic, but do have low blood pressure as well.
Some days I am fine, plenty of energy, other days very 'flat'. I try to keep to a diet of unrefined carbs, plenty of wholegrains etc, slow release energy. But do stray sometimes on to sugary stuff. I would like to try energy drinks, but I worry that they will have the opposite effect, ie. sugar rush then a real 'low'.
If running first thing in the morning eating beforehand is not always easy.
Does anyone else feel like this, or better still anyone overcome this problem. I suppose I just have to try things out.
