Workout Ruined by Poo?

This happened just once, right? I wouldn't worry about it yet.

I have the same problem a lot too -- especially on the track. I'm still in the process of solving it, so the best advice I can give you is make sure to get a regular schedule for when you are running and eating. This will get your body adjusted to having a bowel movement at the same time every day. Just try not to deviate too much from the schedule.

...or make sure there's a port-a-potty next to the track!

was it really ruined? it was just an indicator that you were working hard.

we had poor facilities in college, there was not a bathroom at our track, but there was a brick wall - which shielded you from having an explosive blow in front of your teammates, but left you open to the giant dorm parking lot and one class building.

poop was such a common interruption that we did jokingly did squats to be warmed up and limber enough to take a fast dump.

Shit happens.

I mean, I say its ruined because I felt awesome, like I should have easily hit the last k and 600 on pace... but I couldnt, and had to slow down only because if I ran any faster than I did I would have blown my load. Otherwise it was great... I'm just wondering because I have a teammate who thinks the workout is shot no matter what, and another who thinks its a good fitness indicator...

I just think its shitty.

No trolling, btw.

Why did the baker have brown hands?
