Running - excercising

[bram0922]

Is anyone on this forum a runner? My family and I are going to Disney world in October and my husband is doing a disney run and I would really like to join him or even just run in general. My problem running usually I have to stop and use the bathroom. How do you get past that fear of having an accident?

I ran for several years, up to half marathon level. And Triathlons. Dont have accident issues but maybe adult nappies might work? The problem with running is that it increases intestinal permeability (aka leaky gut) so runners get runners tummy. Might not be great for us, which is why I gave it up for tennis and more intense bursts of exercise. But Its not clear how long the tight junctions stay open for, so maybe if one doesn't eat for a while after running, then the tight junctions have time to close again?
