Runner's Diarrhea Is Real: "Marathon Runners Poop Themselves An Extraordinary Amount. This Is Why."

Runner’s diarrhea is diarrhea or loose stools. Dropping a “big deuce mid-run” is different problem called Deucebagitis.

iT'S rUNNERSWORLD, THEY REFER TO A 5 HOUR HOBBY WALKER / JOGGER AS A MARATHON 'RUNNER'

This is just poor preparation. You avoid this by carefully planning what to eat and how to time out your bowel activity prerace.

I do a colonoscopy prep solution two days before a marathon. Couldn't squeeze out any material during the race even if I wanted to.

I sometimes wonder why Letsrun has always so many trolls but then realize that one of the founders is the original troll of the site. Honestly one of the best ones as well

This as dangerous way to dehydrate. Even if you are joking.

I used to stop on some runs to poop in some bushes. I would use leaves to wipe my crack. I still have to do this from time to time. Unfortunately, my fingers tear through the leaves sometimes.

I found out that one should only eat lightly (if possible) before a run. Limit yourself to only a few snacks, and don't eat within two hours of a workout. Also, try to use the restroom prior to your run. Sometimes it's a good idea to strategically plan your route so that you pass by some porta-pottys (just in case). 😉

This is how you spend your Christmas Day, rojo? Reading and reposting this stuff?

YES it's how we all spend Christmas, everyone is bored AF and you're supposed to pretend.

anyhow rojo it is irritation from gas that makes the gut empty itself. There's always gas in there, normally trapped in the sigmoid colon. When agitated, It escapes and rises to the top, which is on either the right or more commonly the left side where it seems like it is in the area of the diaphragm. Confuses a lot of people that it's a muscular cramp or diaphragm issue, even when an explosive crap follows half an hour later.

Watch as poster after poster angrily denies this, without one shred of rational argument

It’s usually best to push out the poop. If you’re wearing black shorts it’s not so bad having a load back there. It’s only bad if it starts running down your leg.

Imagine if Weldon and Paula had both had to poo at the same time during her WR run?

Hey, Rojo, rename it "Runner's Trots". Quite a bit about it on the web and that's what it is referred to as.

It sounds better.

Pooing yourself midrace is almost always a too much fibre the day before issue.

If we are just talking stomach problems like stitches and whatnot, that can be many things.

Too much broccoli and brussel sprouts is my guess. He had to do some googling.

Nothing new. As someone else posted, the way to avoid this is preparation.
