I run in the evenings, and always have to go the loo before setting outside the door, else it is embarrising. That's fine, can cope with that. But as life gets so much busier I want to change to a morning run so it's done and I can have the rest of the day and evening for other things.
Problem is, the plumbing department is not towing the party line.
I've tried getting up earlier, later, eating, not eating and sure as anything, partway round the plod, there is increadible stomach cramps, and an unstoppable urge to sit on the white throne!!
Help, its gonna be mornings or the return of the belly!

ican go in the morning, and still get the urge during running
Try cutting out dairy produce and see if that helps
I am assuming you "go" before your morning run, have you tried a big cioffee if not?
otherwise, plan a toilet stop into your run
Thas what I have to do
I found that eventually your body learns to "evacuate" before your AM run. So keep them short to start with or laps so you can nip back when required.

I too can go to the loo before going out in the morning for a run and then the running sets off another desire to go again!
We shall see how it goes and hopefully I will get round the route without too much trouble!!
I think lots of peeps have 'plumbing probs' when mr used to run seriously he always had probs during and especially after runs too.
When he trained for his marathon he pretty much always trained on the tread in gym. Most times he had to stop to take a 'break' but during marathon he had no probs.
Even if coffee doesn't work it's a nice wee caffine boost in the mornings
I decided at the beginning of May to simply reduce the volume of food I was eating especially around mid-day. For early morning runs I simply could not leave the house without taking a dump. This usually meant wasting 1/2 hour circling the bog because even if I didn't feel an immediate need there would be an 'emergency' within 10 minutes of starting a run.
I'm really pleased with the results. I've lost half a stone, bodyfat has gone from 19 to 16% and I can now run anytime of day with reasonable confidence that I won't need a poo.
It's on threads like this that I wish I'd got a cool Runners World pen name.
At least you haven't got a pic Rob, so you won't be recognised
Can I suggest snacking on dried fruit (or fresh) in the evenings - I'm a devil for Sainsbury's Vanilla Prunes - also apricots, dates, mango etc...
I get up in the morning and can have a really good dump before going running. Bliss!
I'm gonna try the evening dried fruit and maybe a fruit salad next before bed and see if that produces the desired effect.
Not giving up on those morning plods yet!
