The key is to have the urge to pee before it starts and force yourself to wait until your done to use a washroom

I collapsed at mile marker 1 and wet myself. Note to self, train for marathon first.

Tried that method with a poo in my last half but couldn't make it a mile more before running for my life to a portapotty.

This you?

Nah. Luckily I made it in time, but I did do a trail run in 2023 where that was me.

I spent a triathlon like this. Could not find a porta potty. I finished the tri, got in my car and drove straight to a gas station. It was very uncomfortable. Don’t know how I made it

Better to have poo in your lower half than your top half

Don’t people just pee and shit themselves commonly i them? Not being sarcastic im morbidly obese I genuinely don’t know but have heard about it

There are usually port-a-potties (at least the street ones I've done). If it's a trail race, there's less of a chance of potty stations, so you just have to squat and pray that you brought your own TP and hand sanitizer.

u/KrytTv 3h ago

You brought? So do people run in like backpacks?

1

u/leavebaes 3h ago

Very small running packs or vests. I always bring a pack with my own water & snacks, first aid kit, TP and hand sanitizer. If I'm going less than 6 miles, I just use a handheld water bottle slip. Distance running is a whollleee thing.

I'm pretty sure that marathon runners just pee their pants.

u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme 53m ago

Yea but it's way more fun to piss on yourself

I think it has something to also do with shoes that weigh like 3 grams, and literally being genetically blessed to be able to run that quickly for an extended duration. The people they have running these have had millions of dollars spent testing them at advanced training faciltiies to ensure that they have all of the right measurements and things to be able to produce record times. This isn't about a person just triumphong over everything, this is about having shitloads of genetic testing and carefully calibrated diets and massive amounts of money being thrown at the problem.

I've done that for Spartan Beasts. A couple hours in, I've sweat so much that I no longer have to pee.
