Running with Type 1 Diabetes: Caroline Goldberg’s Journey from College Diagnosis to Chicago Marathon Training #17

In this episode of the Spewak Training Podcast, Mark Spewak sits down with Caroline Goldberg, a former high school and Denison University runner who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after fainting during a collegiate cross-country race, initially being told endurance sports were too dangerous.  Caroline shares how she learned to keep running through planning and trial-and-error, later training for major marathons and joining Beyond Type 1 for the New York Marathon after struggling to balance fueling and blood sugar.  She explains why she started creating running-and-diabetes content to fill a gap online, describing the daily decision fatigue of managing an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor during long runs and races. Caroline discusses mindset, resilience, and reframing big races like the Chicago Marathon as a celebration.
