No Swedish fish lol, but I did have some random Skittles and one last thing of gummy snacks lol.
First point I noticed: I have had a deviated septum for I don’t even know how long, never really cared about it. It became WAY more evident as I was attempting to mouth breath like a champ and eat candy simultaneously lol. Probably good that no one was recording this debacle lol.
Second point: I am sure it would be more evident during significantly longer runs. I didn’t have any sort of stomach issues, but also didn’t notice any real “energy” from eating some sugar. Are the first little pack of Skittles around 40 minutes, the gummy snacks at about 1:00 (purposely slowed down a bit around mile 4-5 so I would even have some time after the second snack). I dunno, I didn’t notice it “helped”, but I think it’s also fairly short/slow to really “need” any sort of food during the run. But happy to find I didn’t have any major stomach/gut issues after eating something. Maybe I will look at more “performance”/grown up options as opposed to random candy next time lol.
