Longer term answer: Train your body to go at a specific time, before your running time. You can do this with regular fiber and coffee use.


I drink coffee every morning, it does nothing. I also only poop once a week, if that. I eat a lot of fiber too, I'm a healthy eater.


WTH! My doc says you’re constipated if you don’t poop more than once a day.

I would die.


I don't think so....if it's normal for you to poop once a week then that's what is normal. I poop once every week or two.


Unless you're a literal sloth, this is not normal or healthy.

Office poopers and (literal) party poopers take note.


I'm an office pooper. My poops are regularly timed to come right after breakfast and lunch. Sorry, bro, I gotta eat lunch at work.

+1. My friend who only poops once a week has an eating disorder. It's a symptom of a very slow metabolism.

As a fast metabolizer, I poop 2-3 times per day.

I only poop once a week also and I am a runner and in good shape


NP. I…don’t understand this. Do you eat food every day?

You can control a lot of this with diet, in most cases (I know there are medical exceptions).

I do not eat anything too heavy in fiber, dairy, or protein during the day before running. Simple carbs that are easy on my stomach 2 hours before seems to be the sweet spot for me. There is a reason bagels are the famous pre-race meal. After running, high on fiber and protein.

No, this is not true. You are literally full of crap right now unless you eat like a bird. With a healthy digestive system you go at LEAST once a day and often once after every meal.

I try to go before my run and I usually can get something out, but it still comes around the 3rd mile. My normal running path is a mile from my house so if I am on mile 3, I could be as far as two miles from home. Any advice? Last time I couldn't hold it and it was so embarrassing because I actually passed by a few people.


Wait — by couldn’t hold it — you mean you pooped in your pants???

I have a hyperactive bowel, which doc says is normal, but I’ve never had it that bad. I would see a GI, you probably have IBS.


This happens to my DH several times a year (i know, its unbelievable). He talked to a doc and nothing wrong with his GI. They said find a porta potty on your route

My DH is like this and as a result he has an amazing knowledge of public bathrooms all over DC. He also swears by dude wipes, which are individually packaged and flushable wipes he gets on Amazon.
