    Immodium the night before a race.

    Also, I do my running on a golf course, which is awesome because not only do I not have to avoid cars, but there are bathrooms, port-a-potties and water. Awesome!

    And this is why long distances are intimidating. "Hey, I've got this great healthy activity that will make you crap yourself in public."
    Don't forget the bleeding nipples.

    Ladies, they don't bleed if you run topless!

    First, yes, this is a thing. It is commonly known as runner's trots. Never trust a fart while running.

    I read an article a while back saying that dehydration could be a cause - so first of all, make sure you are hydrated. This includes pre-hydration which is something I learned from a friend who was stationed in the Middle East. If they knew they had a day of heavy activity coming up, they made sure to drink a lot of water the day before and that morning so they would be completely hydrated.

    Also, if I eat anything pre-race it's usually a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Nice mix of carbs with some protein mixed in and the banana has the added effect of being constipating.

    Wait...what? Is this a thing? People actually poop while they're running? I see how one could get the urge...but they actually do it? While running?? :huh:

    Yup. And if you're racing for time every second counts. I personally don't think I could do it, not unless it was completely and totally out of my control.

    Peeing myself on the other hand I would totally do.

    ETA: It's one thing to do it when you're running a marathon. Quite another if it happens on the treadmill at the gym.:laugh:

    And don't forget about losing toenails! Gotta love that too...

    Back in high school, I was watching an Iron Man competition when one of the female competitors lost control of her bowels. My last session with the shrink is next week.
