As type 1 athletes, we know exercise provides a cardiac benefit. But it can also challenge us to address the effect of stress on glucose and cardiac health.

20 years of fitness is probably why I’m here to discuss it, but after an alarming cardiac stress test, I suddenly have a new perspective.

Making any kind of big change involving type 1 diabetes is like living under the constant threat of the Dread Pirate Roberts. What to do?

Sometimes the key to “winning” daily battles of Type 1 diabetes is understanding who and what we’re fighting. HINT: it’s the the doc, the disease, or the equipment.

Our diabetes community needs to look beyond the hopeless and frustrating “medical compliance” model to find ways to change lives. Here’s my take.

When you step away from marathons and into ultra running, a whole new world opens up to you, and it’s like Alice in Wonderland. Especially the parts about running and getting nowhere, eating cake and seeing giant caterpillars.

Our lives don’t have to be amazing or perfect to make a difference to others. They just need to be lived with intention, joy, hope, gratitude and kindness.

When I set out to do 1406 human-powered miles in under a month, I had no idea how grueling it would be, almost like a transcon. Here’s the lowdown.

Sometimes the first lessons we learn about endurance sports are the most important ones: that our bad days can also be our good days.

Sometimes no matter how much you train, things just fall apart. This is the write-up for my first attempt at doing a 10x Iron triathlon: 24 miles of swimming, 1120 miles of cycling, and 262 miles of running, as one single event, pretty much continuously except for sleep and bad weather.
