I've had a bad problem with getting severe diarhea either during or immediately after my runs and cant find any solution so Ive been thinking about taking imodium pre run but didnt know if it could have any negative effects on my running like dehydration or fatigue or anything like that? Anybody know or have any other advice on getting over this?
I started taking immodium AD about an hour before workouts then races and now its just a part of my routine. doesn't ALWAYS seem to work but I would say most of the time it does the job. good luck!
I only get similar issues in very hard tempo runs (rarely) and 10k-HM races (frequently).
I now refrain from coffein, fructose and milk. Problem seems solved!
And that comes from a guy who usually ate a toast with honey plus a huuuge milk coffee as pre-race breakfast routing...
