That is actually really interesting as it's something I have been considering posting about. It's not exactly the trots, but in my early runs (I've just finished week 5) I would quite literally just make it home in time. 😳 I like to run early, so it is "out of the way", cooler, I can focus on work & family. Plus there's a sense of achievement right at the start of the day. But that means there's no time to eat at all or drink too much. I don't feel lacking in energy or thirsty when I run, but it could be a contributory factor ...

[Fiadh79 Graduate in reply to Gthants]

I had a situation like this recently! I think the squeezing took more energy than the 30 minutes running. Tha kfully I did make it.

[Gthants in reply to Fiadh79]

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to Fiadh79]

hilarious ( sorry) but I get what you mean

😀

We’ve all been there

Great to hear 👌💕

[Jools2020 Graduate]

Heyyyy! How have you been ❤️

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Hi Jools

So lovely to hear from you!

I feel like we are ‘veterans’ of the site!

I see you’ve revisited couch to 5k journey again

I’ve been thinking of doing it too- life is so so busy ( feel bad saying it but covid lockdown pace was good for me- I know so many people lost loved ones and it was dreadful, I lost a couple of friends myself)

Hope you’re well - so glad we have contact on strava x

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Yes, it feels like we are veterans! I’m doing the program again following illness - and I’m enjoying it the second time around! I joined it at Week 3.

Look forward to seeing you again on here xx

[nowster Graduate]

Long time no see TT!

Yes, I've been caught short far too many times and have gone behind bushes or hedges.

Last summer I was doing a long run to Cromer and back from where we were staying on holiday at the time. Thankfully nobody was within sight on the coast path at that point, and I could go into the high vegetation to "do my business". A few miles on there were some public loos in the next village along the coast and I was able to tidy myself up a bit.

And then in November in Alnwick about 2km from the end of a 10km run I felt an urgency, tried to hold it back but couldn't, and had to interrupt that run by going into the disabled loos in the Aldi there. Let's just say that I'm very glad they had cleaning products (sprays, wipes) in there. They were needed.

During this winter there was one time when I was out running in the rain and found my bladder control was lacking. I'm very glad I was wearing black tights, it was dark and they were already wet. 😆

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to nowster]

heyyyy Mister - I’ve just replied to something you’ve posted about the forum - a poll on the forum

Hope you’re well - well done on the running- you see me on strava popping up with a cheeky comment now and then

💙

[nowster Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

I'm well. I had a tumble back at the end of March, deeply cutting my knee, which caused me to overcompensate elsewhere, leading to little niggles that I'm gradually ironing out.

I'm still out running at least four times a week.

Hopefully at some point you'll be able find some time for yourself to be able to get back into things.

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to nowster]

oh nooo -but good you’re still out there running.

As you will possibly tell from the time of this message.. I’m on nite shift 🙈

I can’t complain as at least I have a job and I get to spend leisure time with my gorgeous grandsons x3
