Well not quiet but I have done some proper exercise today!
Now I can't confirm this means I am back exercising even if I am doing a long walk Sunday but I have been playing with drugs!!! Well Ok not drugs as such!
Fat Budda recommened soem electrolyte tablets called Nuun. So I bought some and as hubby was not at work today I went swimming before work.
I have on occasion whilst both swimming and running notices a "sticky mouth" thing going on, even on short runs which is why I almost always run with water! I thought this was just the way I breathed! and with swimming I put it down to the fact I use a nose clip. Never considered dehydration or anything like that.
Today I get that same sticky/clammy mouth thing yet after a couple of drinks of nuun and it goes! Could it be related or just a conincidence!
Nuun tablets are just electrolytes, no calories or carbs. FB said one forumite used them at FLM. You add 1tab to 250ml of water and after about 1-2mins it's disolved. The taste is slightly artifical (lemon and lime) but not unpleasant.
So I did my swim and my 1km was about 3-4mins faster than of late and then I tired (but I have done little exercise lately!) and Fetch says my 1m time is the fastest ever!
Egglett also bought some and used hers last night and this morning and did a 10m PB! It could be coincidence or just in our heads but .... who knows!
I will be using them on my long walk on Sunday and we will see if this reduces the post hard/long session water retention thing I seem to get!!
But so far, yep I'm pleased!
