Is it just me that gets an upset tummy before they embark on a run they haven't tried before???

Tonight I am going to try 10k for the first time. Off out at 6.30 so will report on my return.

Slow and steady Dunnja, you can do this xx

I did it. So chuffed. Have posted seperate update.

I always seem to have an upset tummy before and straight after. Bizarre. I should be like a twig what with the running and upset tummies but I'm not!!!

I never had 'bowel issues' before taking up running lol!! Even on a group run I have to run to the loo before I set off! I'm hoping it settles down, but from the conversations I've had with other runners, it seems to be a common 'problem'!! Nerves, excitement or a mixture of both for me I think x

Glad it's not just me. I should be stick thin by now!!!

It's only on the longer runs for me but is bad beforehand and always a quick dash after too.

Think you are right re nerves excitement etc but am bit worried now I've signed up for some longer runs. I'll probably miss the start as I can't get off the loo!!!!!

Not what you're looking for?
