[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say over time my ability to run without having to drop a deuce has improved. But, it remains a timing issue with eating to be honest. Imagine finishing a half ironman while having that happen without access to porta potties except at mile 12 (so at that point, it didn't make much difference) - that was suboptimal.

Wednesday afternoons are usually the worst for me because that day is usually my speed running day, and I almost always do it in the afternoon.

I think just keep at it, and if you need to stay close to home, just do that. You could also fiddle a little bit with fiber intake and timing. That is why the recommendation is to always eliminate or mostly eliminate fiber from your diet leading into a long distance event - marathon, middle or full distance triathlon, etc...[/quote]

Yes, I suggest adding miles closer to home. I started to run loops around my neighbourhood as I started adding miles every weekend. It always happened around the 45min-1 hour mark. Thankfully on race day it didn’t happen, but I mapped out the port-o-potties along the running route prior to the race.[/quote]
