Is it good to chew mint gum before running longer races?

No, it is much better to have a BBQ Cheddar burger from Whataburger before the race!

That's fine, but don't chew during the race! : ). You should eat lot's of carb and drink water, but not too much or you'll get a cramp!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO! NEVER chew mint gum before doing ANYTHING physical, but especially running!
When you chew mint gum, it has a negative effect on your body. Have you noticed that when you drink water after chewing mint gum your throat feels cold and water upsets your stomach? Thats because of the reaction between your throat and the gum. It constricts your airways and can make you nausious. It also slightly lowers your stamina because you're not getting enough oxygen. If you were to still chew gum, chew fruit gum, as it doesn't have this effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No no no, I have ran cross-country for 2 years and only did that mistake once. Not mint gum, or anything mint really. In fact, fruit gum is better. But make sure it doesn't have a lot of sugar.
Drink water, and the best food EVER arebanana's not oranges, nothing with acid, butbanana'sare the BEST FOOD EVER BEFORE A RACE. They have what you need.
Apples and stuff like that are good too. No milk, nothing with to much fat, and no eggs either.
