I have found when I go running after about 20 minutes I have to go to the loo - really quickly. This happens whenever I go running, whatever time of day. I eat a lot of fresh fruit n veg and don't want to cut this down too much has anyone got any suggestions how I can control it?

I can't find the article on here.. but in the september issue of RW addresses this issue (p30-31).
my only suggestion would be to time your runs carefully (no pun intended!)
Dustin - mate I don't want to break stride! It's bad enough trying not to break wind!
As Tim says, let the jet propulsion take its course (as long as you're sure it IS just wind) - by the time anyone notices, you'll have run out of sight anyway.
On one occasion I actually had to squat in the middle of a wood and find some nice soft ferns to use as loo paper (SO embarrassing!!) Generally I find that leaving at least three hours between eating and running helps, also try to make sure you've emptied your bowels at some point during the day before you go running so there's not too much of a backlog so to speak ...
