Pooping- let's just talk about it

Author name

With a bit of planning, you can avoid stepping off the trail

We've been getting a lot of questions about a rather... delicate topic. So, today, we're going to address it head-on.



How can you avoid needing to poop during a run?


It's a common issue for runners, but there are strategies you can use to prevent it.


Watch your diet: Certain foods can trigger bowel movements. Try to avoid high-fiber and fatty foods before your run.


Hydrate, but don't overdo it: Drinking too much water can also stimulate your bowels. Find a balance that works for you.


Warm up before your run: A quick warm-up can get your bowels moving before you hit the road or trail, helping you avoid any mid-run emergencies.


Plan your routes: If you're prone to this issue, plan your running routes around available restrooms. Just in case!


Remember, everyone's body is different, so what works for one person might not work for you. It's all about experimenting and finding what helps you have the best run possible.


Let us know if you have any other running-related questions or topics you'd like us to cover. We're here to help you achieve your goals and live your best life. Keep pushing your boundaries,
