#290: Ironman to 500km: Ultra-Running with Type 1 Diabetes, with Jonty Brown.

The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

Show Notes

In today’s episode Eoin speaks with Jonty Brown ( @jontyruns ).

Jonty was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 12, and admittedly spent years trying to keep it hidden, while quietly struggling with control and the mental load that comes with it.

Over time, through better technology, community, and movement, things started to shift.

Jonty has since completed Ironmen, multiple 100-kilometre runs, a 500-kilometre run from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and a four-day ultramarathon through the desert. He’s now an ultrarunner, running coach, and owner of two running stores in London ( @runlimited.ldn ).

This conversation is about living honestly with Type 1 Diabetes, reducing the mental burden, and what becomes possible when the condition stops being something you hide.
