So you've had a bad day......

I would say so

Does that happen often enough in marathons? You'd think they'd allow pit stops for it.

If you can't run then walk. If you can't walk then crawl. Just keep moving.

Most runners say "it's just water" and power through. The elites would rather soil themselves than break stride.

2022-01-31 18:48:50 I feel sorry for what you went through, but I have to say you were lucky. Whilst I've attended a few London Marathons - as a spectator for a family friend running - I had never seen, or indeed heard of, a runner loosing control of their bowels whilst running... I don't know whether or not this'll be good advice, but perhaps for the next time, Lydia, you might want to try wearing a body bag? (It'll save time at the other end) Just be thankful you weren't doing this whilst pregnant(!) Imagine going into labor mid-run...it would difficult to decide what you would reach first; the finish line or your baby's shoulders emerging(!) Still, look on the bright side; you ought to be thankful you refused any medical help. That lot lie in wait, ready to pounce, like Lions. Soon as they see someone stumble, they're all over the runner like seagulls over a fish-&-chip stand(!) Even if you want an aspirin, they'll try to get the tongue depressor down your throat! And once they get the bandages out, the runners finish the race looking like Tutankhamen(!)

That kind of physical distress is rarer than it used to be (as more runners know what they're in for coming in), but it's still common enough that the medical tents at major races are always busy and they have paramedics ready at regular intervals. (Note she waved off help at Mile 19). But footage of runners "hitting the wall" are readily available.

I remember hearing there's actually a problem that happens with runners when they actually overhydrate because the body's in a mode where it tries to preserve that for hydration when what's needed is electrolytes. Hyponatremia
