Does anyone ever feel bloated after longer runs? What do you do to combat that? I went on a 6 mile run on Tuesday and a 5.2 mile run today and I felt huge and bloated afterwards... :(

    More info! Did you eat before? How has your health been the last few days? Does this happen often or just this time? Any other digestive distress while running or working out?

    I thought running was supposed to shake all that out? Anyway, it can mess with your digestive system (not necessarily in a bad way). Google "runner's trots" haha

    If you drink lots and lots of water the bloat should go away fairly quickly! That happens to me too.

    yeah, happens to me. it's usually because i didn't drink enough water before or during the run.
