Expert  692    Boca Raton, FL |  Subject: To pee or not to PeeS, how many of you choose to pee yourself while training? Only reason i ask, yesterday I had a TT run and about 20 minutes into it, a dog came out of nowhere and started runnig at me and barking/growling..I thought I ws going to be pounced on and bitten. Anyway, the owner got the dog, but in the meantime ,when I started runnign again, I had to pee really bad...no where in sight to hide or go, and I was really pushing hard for the TT..so, I peed while runnnig...Am I just insane? IT's only training and not a race, but I really didn't want to mess up my numbers for my coach to analyze. Would you have done the same or stopped your TT and found a place to go? |

Regardless, I would never pee (or poop!) on myself intentionally in a race. much less in training. Edited by the bear 2010-03-31 3:42 PM |

Champion 5117 Brandon, MS | Subject: RE: To pee or not to Pee When you pee yourself in training because you don't want to screw up your numbers, then you may be too attached to your gadgets. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but perfect data is worth not having warm pizz running down my leg and into my shoes. (this excludes any swim training of course) Edited by sesh 2010-03-31 3:43 PM |

| Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: To pee or not to Pee I find a tree, a building, a bush and duck behind that. Between the smell and the extra chafing that the pee on me would cause I have no desire to pee on myself, especially just in training. A 30 second break isn't going to change the effect of your training run. |

| Extreme Veteran 502 Washington | Subject: RE: To pee or not to Pee Not a big deal really, I personally wouldn't do it because for some reason I can't deal with bad odors after hard efforts (they make me dry heave/puke). Some people obviously get grossed out by it, by lots of people are easily grossed out by even more trivial things (like eating food off the floor, or peeing in the shower. So if you have a goal that is more important to you than keeping your shorts dry, I say let'er flow. Edited by ionlylooklazy 2010-03-31 3:59 PM |

Expert 1706 NoVA | Subject: RE: To pee or not to Pee OK so since all the boo-birds have come out to say NO...I'll weigh in just to say hey why not!? It's not being too attached to your gadgets---she clearly said numbers for her COACH---hey she's paying someone to create a plan around those numbers so better to have accurate numbers!! And hey it's just your own pee.........  I realize we aren't talking about Kona podium spots but hey if it's acceptable to you then go for it... |

Pro 3932 Irvine, California | Subject: RE: To pee or not to Pee When running, I don't think I'd be able to pee. Relaxing one specific set of muscles while engaging other ones -- too complicated for my poor brain, lol. Now, breaking wind while running... totally different story.  |

And hey it's just your own pee......... I realize we aren't talking about Kona podium spots but hey if it's acceptable to you then go for it...I pay a coach as well and the answer is still no. And I can guarantee my coach would agree with me. All you have to do is hit stop on the watch, pee, then start again. And managing my water intake to match my training schedule is still a work in process so I've definitely had to duck behind trees and such. Speaking, I better finish this water so I don't have to find a tree tonight because it's a route without many options.  |
