Does anyone chew gum while running? My mouth ... - Couch to 5K
Does anyone chew gum while running? My mouth gets very dry and it makes it more difficult to go on. Any tips? Thanks everyone:)
I take a small runner's water bottle with me and just take a swig every kilometre or so - which I find refreshing.
No I had it drummed into me donkey's years ago never to chew gum in case you chocked on it. I'm a water carrier for longer runs like Landesman.
Hi rayagirl. Yes I have done the chewing gum & it did make a difference not only with my dry mouth but also my breathing. I was chewing some of the Airwaves gum which really clears your nose as well. Still take my runners water bottle for a glug of water when needed. I do realise the gum idea can have it's risks & I'm sure my mum would give me a lecture if she knew!!! Lol. Claire.
No I don't. I'd be too likely to choke on it while I was gasping for breath! ;D
No. I have a water bottle, but my mum put me off gum for life! I'm 39 now and still can't put the stuff in my mouth!
