[quote=Anonymous]Before anyone says we are trying to blame the victim, colon cancer runs in my family despite no gene mutations identified so far, so this interests me. I also know 2 running enthusiasts who are colon cancer survivors and some of the people i follow on IG with colon cancer are marathon runners.

Here are my thoughts about caution or correlations:
-As other posts point out, perhaps some push too hard to the point of inflammation. I definitely know people like that. I know a runner who even with the flu or a bad case of covid had to be begged by her husband to stop running and she would not.

-Some runners have a history of eating disorders so I wonder if there is some link there.

-The crap some runners use as snacks along the run for quick energy is filled with chemicals that are probably terrible for the gut

-Some runners are into healthy eating, others eat a ton of junk and use running to burn. I wonder if those who developed cancer were more likely to eat crap or pseudo healthy energizing snacks and protein snacks.
