If I took laxatives long enough before a race so that they didn't affect me during the race (i.e. the morning of an evening race), how much weight could I lose by pooping? Would it help or hurt your performance?

Couple of pounds, maybe 3. You shouldn't need laxatives, just coffee.

Or if coffee isn't your thing, diet soda. Or Copenhagen if you're a hillbilly like I was as a kid. Causes a BM almost immediately in the morning.
Are you not able to go to the bathroom naturally before a race? I make sure I get up early enough to go before racing.
I would not take laxatives-you will be in the bathroom forever and you will feel terrible after and have zero energy
Don't take a laxative there is no way to time it. Great chance it will hit you at the wrong time vs right.
Coffee or caffeine pill can help both your performance and your pooping.
As far as weight goes, I got a stomach virus about a month before a big race, I lost 14 lbs in 2 days.
Take as much laxative as possible before the race then your form will be very fluid
Depends on how big the crap is....
Is the extra weight from poop and piss a concern for elites? I mean if you really dig in and get out an extra pound of shit you can probably run like .5% faster (30 sec in the marathon). And isn't there shit in the colon that doesn't really ever get out but if you can go to the doctors they can get out like 2 pounds of extra shit? Do the elites do that? hmmm... I have many interesting thoughts, I am indeed a inteligent man. Do you think I can join a sub 2 hour team as a guy who helps the athletes shit?

You gotta do better than that...this was a stupid thread to begin with (it must be a boring sports day or something ðŸ˜).

Everything he said was reasonable. The common rule is 2 seconds per mile per pound. His statement about doctors having to remove stubborn feces is also reasonable. It is called "impacted feces" and some people allegedly have seeveral pounds of it stuck inside.
There is a product called Colon Blow that supposedly helps here... a friend tried it and told some interesting tales. I was not tempted to join the experiment.
I've actually weighed myself on a scale in a locker room before and after pooping and ran an indoor race an hour later. Lost about 2 pounds. Did it make me faster? Well...the pre-race dump is part of my warm-up routine anyway.
My pre race poop is usually a lot, maybe 3 pounds
