I used to have this problem when I was young (pre-teen).

I seemed to have gotten over it though, and unless I have an upset stomach, I don't have a problem.

It’s a nightmare scenario for runners: A spirited jaunt on your favorite backcountry trail turns into a sprint for the nearest tree when nature suddenly calls—and not the friendly kind of call.

Although you may fight valiantly, you’re ultimately forced to drop trou and drop a deuce.

Hopefully this has never happened to you. But in the unfortunate event that you suddenly feel the urge, remember the advice that follows to keep your run from going down the crapper.

Nothing you can do at that point but find a bathroom FAST, which should help you run faster. Maybe that's the best thing that can happen to a runner on the track.

I've never got the runs while running. Having the runs is a good indication of bacterial infection in the digestive system which I can't recal having in so long.

Not me. My cardio is pretty much limited to short warm ups before workouts and >30mins of dedicated time.

30 is still pretty good though. Depends on how well you breathe and how much energy you have. I used to only do weights and get winded easily. Now that I do an hour of cardio after each workout I've been able to increase my reps/sets and decrease my rest periods significantly when weightlifting.
