Toilet trouble

[Juliepooh69]

Have now completed three consolidation runs, but although I'm enjoying it I've started to 'need number 2s' halfway through. How do others deal with this, it's putting me of running 😔😔

I’ve suffered same problem. Definitely puts me off running too far from home. I tend to stick near by and do circular routes. I’ve copied this link

Hope it helps 👍

Thanks for that. Very interesting article, I'm so glad it's not just me. I'll try some of the suggestions 🤔

I definitely never like ever go run before a loo visitation 🚽🧻 it's a natural bodily reaction to all the jiggling caused from running

Drastic solution: Picolax. 🤪🤣

It's like liquid dynamite for the guts.

(No, I'm not in the remotest bit serious.)

😂😂😂 might make me run faster!

[nowster Graduate in reply to Juliepooh69]

Yes, but only to the nearest loo.

If you want to read an amusing account on a cycling forum of a Scouser who was to go in for a endoscopy and had to take some, search for "Agent Picolax Singletrack". Do not drink tea or coffee while you read it.

Ugh! 🤢🤮

Really struggled to swallow that stuff .. was told I could dilute with clear liquid such as lemonade to dilute the taste.... all it meant was instead of having a tiny bottle of stuff to drink that I now had a pint glass of vile stuff 🤢

It’s disgusting 🤮

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to nowster]

And I’ve just read the fellow scouser’s tale...

trust me - he’s not alone.. it truly is like that!

Tho reading his words he did make it sound funny..it’s really not a fun procedure 🙈🤣

I’ve had exactly the same. Its then caused me to have panic attacks whilst running. I spoke to a colleague who is very experienced in running, she said it happens to most people!

I don’t go until I have ‘been’, but still find myself thinking I need to go mid run.

I dont have any advice, but just wanted to say I have been there too!
