Will the result of your experiment be a 18-weeks poop training program?

Nah. I just suppose I will come to a similar conclusion as lightweight shoe guy...

If you poop before, that's better than pooping during, but overall, lighter weight will improve your time. However, it is minor compared to details such as training and weather.

But I don't want to get in a quality v quantity debate as it applies to poop.

Poop lots. Mostly easy. Sometimes fast. But don't strain.

Yeah, I'd say during would be bad. No one wants to be the "Memebase does the marathon" (or half marathon, or whatever) guy.

I volunteered and paced 70ish miles of a race this weekend. The race was a 200 miler (Thursday-Sunday), 150 miler (Friday-Sunday), and 100 miler (Saturday-Sunday) around a 10 mile loop. If you are running this long, you will have to go during.

Although there were bathrooms at the start/finish, a 10 mile loop is a long way. So there was lots of Goings On in the woods. The problem was, there were only a few places to duck into the woods and be discreet without having to seriously bushwack.

By the wee hours of Sunday morning, one had to be super careful when stepping into one of these hidey holes.

EEEK.

Memebase? Wasn't he that Ethiopian runner that had the lead in the 2008 NYC marathon until he had, er, a GI incident at mile 25?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I already used the Memebase=Ethiopian joke.

It is times like these that I enjoy the simple world of Jim's Journal.

Dude. I expanded it. It was an obvious reference to yours.
