I ran with Cheris and Julie today.  We ended up with our "long run" of the week today because they had conflicts on Saturday.  I felt better than last week but my stomach was a mess.  I have decided I think it might be dairy related so I am cutting back on my dairy between now and the marathon to see if that will help.  We had 7 slow miles and 3 mp miles. Overall a good run and my house actually might get cleaned tomorrow.

I have cut dairy out completely and have felt so much better, I added it back in for awhile in aug and felt horrible. I also have cut most gluten out too, i only eat it occasionally and it has helped my tummy. Also no sugar subsitutes for me at all anymore either.(wish it helped with the my frequent potty breaks while running) But I dont get upset stomach during the day or feel bloated anymore.

I too have had serious GI upset on my long racewalks. This is what helped me: 1) cut out lactose 2 days before (this helped A LOT, but it's hard - lots of products have milk in them), 2) take an imodium 1 hr before exercising, 3) don't eat any solid food before long racewalks, and use gels or liquids during my walks, 4) stay well-hydrated and mix the gatorade w/water, 5) be careful with the pace for the first 5 miles or so.

I still sometimes have trouble, but it is much better than before. I have one more long day (tomorrow) before my marathon on 10/19.

Good luck on your marathon!!! Have a great time!

I wish I knew what my problem with my tummy is. I don't even know where to start. The Imodium has helped a ton and I seem to do better the earlier I am up before running (things have time to work out:) I haven't had issues ever during a race but like I said, I am up for 3 hours typically before a race.

Sorry for the tummy issues---but, even with them, you seem to always run amazingly! Enjoy your free Saturday!

Thanks for coming and running with us--very fun! And it is so nice to have that over, even though it wasn't very long. Now we can just seriously take it easy!

Thanks for the fun run today. I think we both had the same problem today. I'm going to try to cut all dairy out this week too. I hope we can get it figured out. Have a great weekend.
