Four times. FOUR TIMES it’s taken me to complete week 7, run 2. Wanna know why? Because my bowels have sabotaged me at 17/18 minutes EVERY TIME.
But tonight I did it. Yaaayyy. Finally I can move on to run 3 and hopefully put week 7 behind me (literally and metaphorically).
No-one warned me of this particular hazard. 😡😡🤣🤣
Ooh i have had same problem but been too shy to mention it . Had to abort two runs because of bowels . Drink half a cuo of black coffee with sugar before you go ...it makes you go to loo .
If that’s true I’m going to try it. It has absolutely done my head in!! 🤪🤪
It works ..takes about 5 -'15 mins
😂
Hahha I know the feeling! I make sure I go before I run now after I thought I was going to literally poo my pants on one run!
Hot drink or 2 about half an hour before I set off seems to do the trick!
It's remarkably common. To the point where some experienced runners take loperamide (over the counter anti-diarrhoeal) before a big run. But it does seem to be something that goes away for many of us eventually.
(Have certainly used the coffee strategy with patients years ago)
End of week 7... or is it?
