Is Going To Run!

I have a fuel belt. It was 2 water bottles and a pouch for my iphone. I love it, sits nice while you run. You can carry keys and id etc.. As far as peeing, i always have to go when I run. Since having kids i just cant hold it. Since I run on a long nature trail i wait till i'm in a straight area where i dont see anyone and go behind a tree lol. Reminds me of my drinking days

Edit: I do run 10+ miles so around that mark i really need to go.

I pee before and usually I don't need to go during. I've run for six miles and it hasn't been an issue. I also don't carry a water bottle, although I'm looking into getting a camelbak for my longer runs now. I just hydrate really well before and after.

I read this post, and the one you wrote about being "scared to run." Let me tell you, I had the same concerns. I started at 214, now down to 206 in one month! (I am 5'2, so NOT tiny for the # on the scale.) I started running last week.

1. That is really sad about being scared of animals. I'm not sure where you live, but here in L.A. people restrain their dogs (leashes, fences, etc.) If you have this pressing concern, map out your route! Do a walking tour of where you want to run, and scope it out! For the beginning of C25K, you will be walking most of the time, so

2. Again, C25k is walking most of the time at first. You have short bursts of jogging. Yes, you will jiggle. Maybe people will stare at you-- they do at me, because I have huge boobs that bounce when I run. But I stopped caring a long time ago what people think. I am also jogging with a partner, so it's not as "odd" to see me running. Maybe your S.O. or a friend can do the program with you? It will also help keep you motivated, trust me!

3. Hydration: You aren't supposed to drink when running. I carry a water bottle, half full, with me. I only take small sips when doing the walking intervals. And, honestly, I pee constantly when I'm at home. But while jogging, I'm so focused on pushing myself that I don't even think about peeing. Pee before you start out: it's only half an hour. Maybe if you have to pee so bad by the end that it will give you an extra push to get home, haha!

Good luck with your running. Buy good shoes. Don't get discouraged, if someone as lazy as me can do it then so can you!

I only carry water when the temp is high and I am running long. And if I have to go in the middle of the run, that just provides some extra motivation to finish it fast. :-)

Only up to 5k myself, so far, but I've never found myself needing water or the toilet on a run. When I start doing longer distances, I'll buy a running belt.

I find I there is no where for me when I need a wee. THEN I am all the more likely to want to go. Typical i guess. So I purchased a Shewee and it works well . Takes a little practice which I did for a couple of weeks before relying on it. I have included an Amazon link so you know what Im talking about. It is also handy for keeping in the car for those Motorway accident times.

Where do I find that belt?

As for the kids/bladder issues........I hear ya!
Hmmm..peeing behind a tree...reminds me of 4-wheeling or camping, lol

This is the one i have. It's a bit pricey but it was my xmas gift from my mommy lol You can find good quality ones a bit cheaper i'm sure.

Well when I run 13 or more miles I tend to get a bit parch myself. Everything i've read about distance running suggests something to fuel for longer runs as well as a little water. I also use my belt for my iphone cause i dont care for the arm band.
