    Throwing up is far less interesting than pooping. It would've been better to read bout pooping,

    I wonder if any runner ever had to run into the woods to let the poop go. I bet it's happened.

    Have come REALLY CLOSE...very uncomfortable feeling.

    I came VERY close yesterday on mile 3 of what was supposed to be a 5 miler; felt like my entire body was about to fall out through my as*cough*le.

    Ran home instead...gravity didn't help matters much at all. Glad I made it. :neutral_face:

    Actually, yes, Kalikel, I have had the poop issue while running and so have others I ran with. I will admit it, there are some unglamorous parts of exercising.
    Most common was bladder issues.


    It generally involved a pit stop, and doing your business and then running fast to catch up.

    Make sure you're not pushing yourself too hard, and if you aren't, then look into hypoglycemia. I get really nauseous and dizzy after I run unless I eat some sugar.

    haha, Oh yeah vomiting has happened, twice. :confounded: I just ran away from the puddle.
    But that was how I found out I can't eat anything before a run.

    I have done it before. More than once. When you work out hard, your body pulls blood from other sources to feed the heart, lungs, and working muscles. Your stomach is somewhere it pulls from. If there is too much solid material in there for your stomach to manage after blood is diverted away, it gets rid of it.

    On the plus side, you run till you throw up, you'd be amazed at how much easier running gets after

    I have to wait at least 2-3 hours after eating before running. Especially if I am going to push the pace or I will throw up.

    Old saying it the Marine Corps: "If you ain't puking, you ain't running fast enough." That being said, it could have been from any number of things, and it's just a part of life. And to the comment about pooping on a run? I've seen that happen a few times.

    So glad I read all this. When the heat/humidity breaks here, I'm planning to see if I can run. Maybe do a couch to 5K thing. If I can. Tiny dream.

    I'll be sure to watch when/what I eat and make sure I am never too far from a potty!!

    I used to barf every time they made us do the Presidential Physical Fitness test in grade school, right after the 600-yard dash. I was not a sporty kid. I was thin as a rail but certainly not a runner. I don't miss those days.

    Yup. Happened to me a few weeks ago. Was 4 miles away from the nearest porto-potty and had no choice in the matter. Whatever was in me was coming out. I found a place to duck into the woods and let it go. Had to stop at that porto-potty 4 miles away to clean up...
