I go number 2 while I'm running.
Leaving traps and obstacles for my opponent's

@gangstax2131 7 years ago

I don't poop before I run so during the run I have to run faster to get to the toilet to I get 1st place

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

I have never done any of these mistakes, partly because i never run....

@cilliankeane251 6 years ago

Running home while holding a poo the most traumatic experience I’ve had.

“Listen to your body, don’t neglect it”
Ah so I should eat 2 pounds of brownies thanks for the tips bro

Remembering mid-run you should have gone 💩 first. We've all been there... right?!

@IanS2024 8 years ago

I don’t have a dump until I’ve finished running, it makes me run faster to get home !

Not a runner or anything just high and taking a shit clicked on the vid cus I felt the shit on a spiritual level. Great vid now I know some running tips

@mirumo8442 7 years ago

My best runs are often the days where I don't even feel like running ironically. When I am in a good mood to run I end up doing worse and feeling like shit

@notafrog5150 7 years ago

3:00 like my grandpa always said “it’s better to have a shity run than have a shit while running” rip

@hasankhan7782 8 years ago (edited)

I’m running my first 5k tomorrow wish me luck

Edit: I ran a 25:42

Edit 2: Omg thank you guys for 5K likes I couldn’t couldn’t have imagined it! I’m now training to go sub 18 this xc season. I would wish you all luck so could achieve your goals. 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👌

Edit 3: I notice a lot of people putting other people down. We’re all on our own running journey, so please stop putting people down and focus on making yourself better as a person and a runner.

@samiajawid5294 7 years ago

Who else pisses almost 20 times before a race ? 😂

'Listen to your body'
I can't. If I did, it'll tell me not to go for a run.
I can't think about it, I've just got to do it or else my body will talk me out of it.

@jtmnavy 7 years ago

I poop while running and use baby wipes while I’m still running 🏃

@fuzziestofpondsgaming5278 7 years ago (edited)

My first 5k was a 43:48. (Freshmen)

My current best set a week ago 18:55 (Senior)

Remember you can do anything you set your mind to, even if it takes 4 years of training to achieve.

Update: October 12: 18:37

@seankim184 7 years ago

Running a 4k. Know it's not much but wish me luck anyways lol

@pohoholoholo5712 7 years ago

I cannot stress how important using the bathroom before a run is.
I've had countless moments of having to jump a fence or look for a bush on the side of the road.
