re: An elite runner pooped down her leg 7 miles into a marathon but kept going until the end

She had the runs.

How many “shorts” she let fly before she said F it

How do you not remember to go to the bathroom before the race starts?

You can feel perfectly fine before the race, then you feel a little gurgle once you start running. Once that feeling hits, the poop is coming and there is no stopping it.

Sounds like she and many others got food poisoning according to article.

Yeah…BS. You don’t get ‘food poisoning’ and only have to shite and then continue to run a personal best marathon. That’s not how it works.

Look it happens, but for her to then go post it on her own Instagram multiple times is whoring to a new level of mental illness.

I cannot imagine what her b-hole felt like by the end of that run.

This is stupid and disgusting. Stop and go the bathroom or leave the race if an accident occurs. Seems like attention whoring for all the wrong reasons. The only way I would understand is if it’s the Olympics and it could be you only chance in your life to win the gold medal you had been training for the last decade or two.

You don't run, do you?

came here to post something similar, not an uncommon sight for long distance races/runners

One girl no cup?

I can’t really understand pooping yourself running

I DEFINITELY can’t understand pooping yourself running and then hanging around chit chatting with people after the race with YOUR poop running down YOUR leg

I dated a triathlete for a bit. She had already gotten two colonoscopies by the age of 22. The constant jarring of your intestines from running can cause havok on your digestive system. If you even slightly over eat or change your diet you can shite yourself.
