    1. Static Stretching
    2. Don't eat nor drink too much
    3. Use the bathroom before your run
    4. listen to your body, Rest
    5. The Lord will give you strength, just have faith and he will give it to you

BUT you can’t get lucky when running. It all comes down to how hard you work. So I hope you all work hard towards achieving your goals👌

      I know of a coworker who went for a run. He said he felt discomfort but went anyways. In his way back home about a 1 mile to go he couldn't hold it anymore. The public library was closer so he ran towards it.
      He ended up shitting as soon as he opened the door. A piece of poop landing on the floor. A floor he would later have to come back to and wipe himself.
      This is in fact an honest to God true story.

    As a guy who has been running for over 40 years (yes, I stop at night), I find interesting the information about stretching. The video is correct but it is something that has changed over the years. It was once believed that you stretched right from the get-go before a warm-up. Not anymore. There have been similar changes in hypotheses having to do with apply ice instead of heat. The "listen to your body" advice is something I never really did. I was always willing to slow my pace to fit my physical state. My rule-of-thumb was that if I had some aches and pains and was walking with a limp, I was not going to run.

      @IrishNoodles when runningon grass you probably strike more towards your heel(for traction). Shin splints usually happen with heel striking. Move the strike forwards to mid to forefoot and you shouldnt get them.

    Big thing for me as I've been running more as I'm preparing for my next APFT in the spring is not increasing too fast. Recently back in October I increased way too fast. Currently worked my way up from 2 to 3 to now 4 miles a day 5 days a week at a moderate-slow pace. Just trying to get miles under my belt with 2 days of faster runs. Previously I just jumped straight from about 5 miles a week to 20 and it killed my legs. After spending the past 2 months working my way up it's definitely helped a lot.

    @ZeroOne46 Před 5 lety +1

    Yah. I noticed this happens to me sometimes too. I've been trying to figure out a way to control it and so far I've found that the way I hold my posture, and how I breathe has an impact. It can make the feeling worse or calm it down depending if I use deep belly breathing or take deeper more diaphramatic breaths-- diaphramatic breaths work better for me in calming. The focus of my mind affects it the same: the more i fear it the closer it gets. So by strengthening my gaze outwards this affects my breaths, posture, strides and thus helps calm things. A slouching posture aids the poops while keeping a tall posture can help me in maintaining or regaining control of it. And the more I activate my legs and glute muscles helps to reduce the intensity of the desire. And finally, if all else fails, then slowing down while practicing all of the above usually keeps me sane....until I'm approaching an area with a toilet. Then the mental starts to weaken and everything below it wants to follow. So the battle to hold my world together once again ensues, and it can get pretty intense in here sometimes, lol.
    But those are some things that helps me in the struggle...helped me yesterday on my run and glad to say, I ran past a toilet and made him home safely. All of the above steps were used to prevent an explosion in my pants.

    This was great Harry! I found that I started improving my runs once I started my workouts with dynamic stretches and cut back the amount I ate. Felt looser from the stretches and lighter from not having to digest enough food. One other mistake I see is not being honest about where you are relative to your goals. When I first wanted to break 20:00 in the 5k I was running around 23:00 and it took me years to figure out that I was running way too fast at the beginning of my hard runs. Once I cut back the pace on the fast stuff to reflect where I currently was, I started making gains.

    Also make sure your shoes are tied tightly. The other day I was running and my shoe can untied. Also there a video called, “best warm up before running.” It’s got some great easy stretches, just 3 minds. I started doing every time. The first time I did I improved my mile my 10 seconds.
