Does anyone out there have experience of running with ulcerative colitis?
I am helping a friend to train. he has just started running and is currently working through a 10k training rpgram that I drew up for him.
He warned me about his condition, and has been doing fine, but then had a really bad day after a 2 mile run last week.
He is hoping to train up for a marathon later this year. He is going to speak to his consultant, but I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience of the condition.

She's had Crohns for about 15+ years & has been running on-off throughout.
Again, I would suggest contacting the NACC - Mum has been a member of them for years.
I got my name in their mag after raising money for them in FLM 2005. I found that, as a small charity who don't get places, they were really appreciative (much more personal than a large charity).
Ran the Berlin Marathon last year with UC.
Hopefully I will never have it again as I had surgery 3 weeks ago.
There is nothing I do not know about running and UC. I have gone through it all.
Please e-mail me if you want to.
Help! I was diagnosed with UC last year and was being treated with asacol and azathioprine. The last month or so has been terrible, especially while running. I've had several appointments with my consultant and specialist nurse but am starting to feel like I'm running out of options. The idea of surgery is massively worrying.
Any positive thoughts would be really encouraging right now!
