We have several runners here. > [@flyerfansince79](#): > > Prior to running I set my exercise icon on my Loop about 1 hour prior to running. Just curious, with your exercise override, your basal is basically just off, right? I generally turn basal off for the entire run, so with Loop I was setting a crazy number to ensure it would be off. I ended up just going back to the normal PDM because it was easier for me. Plus bolusing was much easier from the PDM than it was from phone. Touchscreen is not easy when running. Does your BG ever rise from adrenaline spikes? > [@flyerfansince79](#): > > I usually then have a cup of chocolate milk and depending on where my sugars are maybe some other snack. 👍 I have suggested chocolate milk 10 or 1000 times here. 😀 > [@flyerfansince79](#): > > Depending on my blood sugar is how many carbs I eat prior to. I like to eat 15 minutes before heading out. You mean a snack right? Not a meal? What time of day do you usually run? I mean, is it like after a meal? Like after breakfast/lunch/dinner? What do you use to fuel during runs? > [@flyerfansince79](#): > > I had to stop due to plantarfaciaitis Is that still a problem or concern? If it is, I have some suggestions that might help! > [@flyerfansince79](#): > > I hope this helps some. I understand that it is difficult to give some advice online. Are you a runner on Strava? Just curious. No, I am not on Strava. I just work with my coach through TrainingPeaks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/running-with-omniloop/7533)._
