Generally, you should take your energy chews 15 minutes before a race and then every 30-60 minutes while on the move. Energy chews come in a semi-solid, easy-to-chew format so it’s effortless to eat energy chews while running. Simply tear open the pack, consume the pre-portioned chew, and follow with a sip of water. It can be a good idea to time your intake with the aid station. And always experiment to find out what keeps your muscles firing until the finish line.
