I hate when you’re running and you realize you need to poop

Just did a 10k today with my sister. I run a lot and the 10k should have been easy for me. So when I get to around 2.5 miles I feel something is amiss with my stomach. And slowly the feeling of having to poop starts to emerge from my butt. The next bathroom was in 2 miles and I needed to poop badly by mile 3. It was absolutely brutal and I barely made it to the toilet. Ended up adding another 20-30 minutes to my finish time as I had to walk to the nearest bathroom.

What about y'all got any stories on your encounters with this oh so terrible feeling on your runs?

I can't even imagine what a bathroom looks like along a marathon path.

I hate it when I gotta take a shit right after I finished showering. That's the worse....

Did you eat a lot before this run? Try taking Imodium

Not much more than usual I just made an amateurish mistake and forgot to go to the bathroom before the 10k started. And I didn't bring any Imodium cause I was like "eh it's a 10k I don't think I'll need it this round"... If only I knew how wrong I was.

I assure you that it is a sight nobody should ever see.

I hate knowing i need to poop but it isnt ready yet and then you go to work, and then it wants to come out but you cant so you sit there more reserved and sluggish than you want to be

It's awful. Which is why I always poop before I run. And it just so happens that I always have to poop right before I run.

the best solution is to program yourself to poop in the morning BEFORE taking your morning shower.

like this, you spend the rest of your day without a load

Can't say this has ever happened to me, I try to always have a set time to poop, somewhat before a shower.

Yeah that's awful. I usually only run for 30 min but twice last week I had this happen to me at about the halfway point. It makes for a really terrible time.

I'm a hiker/backpacker, so yeah, having to poop is a pain in the ass, mostly because it requires I pack a trowel with me on longer trips. Haha. Dig those catholes.
