Ah I only did 3km in the end. I didnāt have time to go back out post shite as the Mrs was off to work and Iād to look after the little one. I have to switch on the computer to load my times up as my watch is so old and wasnāt switching on any computer today
Is shitting yourself common amongst the running community? Seems to be a theme amongst the TFK Parkrun brigade

Iāve left a fair few at various points around the woods and mountains up here. The GAA pitch is right beside the school where the little wan starts tomorrow so I was wary of taking a shite in the hedge there.

Literally and figuratively pal.
Iāve never shat myself on a run but I did take a shit in bushes on the Clonard Road in Wexford town at around 1.48am on Sunday morning. Didnāt log it (pun unintended) on this thread before now as I didnāt technically soil myself but felt obliged to mention it when the thread was bumped.

I usually take porridge before a run as well. But I need to take a shit before I leave for the run then.
This morning was an out of bed run before breakfast so if really caught me on the hop
@fenwaypark someone was saying recently to eat rice krispies or coco pops for the marathon as less chance of GI distressā¦ Hadnāt heard that before and was wary of how much energy youād get off it. The likelihood is Iāll be having my breakfast hours in advance anyway. What do you reckon?
To be honest, I dont know the answer. Ive found porridge to be great. Id throw in a banana aswell. Why not try the rice crispies for a long run and see how you get on.

Iāve moved to Rice Krispies for long runs on this marathon training block. It has to be traditional Rice Krispies, not the Rice Krispies shapes. Think @Mac recommended it & had the theory behind it.

I brought the chislers to the playground on Saturday. Stopped for a coffee on the way and it didnāt suit the gut. I knew if I did any sudden movements there could have been issues. The kids were trying to get me to push the roundabout. Told them Daddy was only capable of pushing them on the swing and even that felt like a gamble. Big clearance when I got home.

when you go on a long run itās harder for your body to break down heavy fibre foods like porridge and if it canāt break it down then itāll just try and force it out of you. Rice Krispies are just pure carbs so give an energy boost and are very easy to break down
