Orion Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 OK serious runners, I have seen this image floating around the net for years, and I always wondered, "Does this shit (Pardon the pun) really happen? Is that a marathon runner who literally shit himself while running?" Seriously, does it? And if so, why the fuck? Image in question... http://sfwchan.com/pics/32408379.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 You can't stop running for a shit break. This does happen if you can't hold it long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Judging by the disgust on people faces in the background it has to be real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 When I jog... I have to make sure I go drop the kids at the pool first, otherwise within ten minutes I have to stop. I had a doctor that worked for me that was a serious runner (he did the Boston Marathon) he said when he runs he always carries a little toilet paper with him just incase he has to go behind a bush.

TTQ B4U Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't care how fast he is, if my fat ass has a choice of running behind him or passing him, I guarantee I will find the strength to pass him and put some distance between us. Hopefully up-wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtschulze Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 But why is it all over the front? I mean your bung hole is out back plus the aero effect would suggest that it should all stay behind him. :gotme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTurbo Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 It's a natural thing the body does during or after physical activity. Not sure if it's a stress reliever or anxiety from long bouts of exercise or what. I'm sure there is a medical name for it, but I don't care to find it. I have a coworker who runs marathons and says it's a problem for a lot of people, and I've been to the cross training store where they sell tons of stuff to settle your bowels while running for long distances.

TTQ B4U Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 someone needs to save this thread with some hot chicks. NOT the two girls and cup vid though.......although it does make me laugh to see others react to that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supldys Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I stopped to take a shit, they put portajohns along the route. Would you even want to win if it meant shitting all over yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I used to do long distance running back in high school, did a couple of 8km races...never had the urge to crap myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I ran competitively in HS and College. I have never shit myself, or come close. HOWEVER, it was quite regular that girls would piss themselves. It happened nearly every race, there would be a few of them. Some were repeat offenders...

zeitgeist57 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I was also track&field/cross-country in HS, runner now... Without being an expert on the physiology of the human body, I would guess that a LOT can happen if you're running over 20 miles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think it is pretty commonplace for all runners to piss themselves during a marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I used to do long distance running back in high school, did a couple of 8km races...never had the urge to crap myself. Here, here. However, maybe this guy wasn't used to the water or he traveled or whatever. Hell, maybe he was just sick. Either way, the man has balls... No matter how much they're covered in shit.

Chad is Dead Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm training for a half marathon and now I'm nervous I'm gonna shit myself.lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I ran a half, and I dont think I thought about shitting myself even once. That or peeing my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 thats just wrong lol, but i guess you do what you gotta do to win right? To win in a major event sure. But not to finish in the 21st Maybe it was a tactical move on his part. Could you imagine the last few hundred yards having to be close to this guy. It probably caused a few runners to stay back or distract them long enough for him to finish in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
