Tooting Bec, Clapham and Wandsworth. In this order we toured the local commons of SW12. Unfortunately it was a bit of a dull day, and we didn’t feel much like running. However the time passed fairly quick and when Ray left me at 7.1miles I only had a little further to go.
Today I decided to dip into my snack pack resources. I wanted to test out how easy it was to eat on the go, what they tasted like and whether they had the desired effect. I thought firstly about trialing my new camelback – but as the ever wise Ray pointed out, perhaps it would be better if I tried it out on a shorter run in case it was in any way uncomfortable.
I ate three of these when I passed over the hour mark. Taste – nice. Palatable – yes. Digestible – yes. Energy giving – I think so. So all in all I like them. Only point to make is that I did crave a bit of water to wash them down with. Strangely, I felt slightly disappointed that they were OK.
When I returned home I ate the below. Taste – nice for first two mouthfuls – not so nice for the rest. Digestible – yes. Energy restoring – not so sure. Looking at the ingredients there is a hell of a load of stuff in them – necessary, I’m not convinced. I think I will stick to real food post run, and only resort to these in emergencies.
