"Activity" is not the same thing as "Exercise": Allison's Running Trial

Week 5 Run 2: 19:30, 1.61 mi, 5.5 RPE (speed intervals)
ZB 40:00, 3:10 after breakfast
Starting: 120
Ending: 117

In the final 3:00 run, my breathing finally felt like it came together for the first time since I’ve started running again. It felt like it used to feel a decade ago. That’s pretty awesome.

I didn’t refuel after this workout. My insulin sensitivity has swung around on me and I don’t want to kill the rest of my day waiting to see what the refueling bolus does for the first two or three hours, and then JENGA out a lunch bolus and wait through car rider line wondering if I’m going to be tanking or stuck high.

So I’m going middle of the road with a mod carb lunch in an hour so that the exercise induced insulin sensitivity can wear off a bit so I’m not dealing with that on top of my other insulin sensitivity changes. I’ve got a lot to get done today (ear infections, pharmacy runs, etc etc). :grimacing:
