Do you start going downhill when you hit 2km? Downhills always make me burp. It's probably not really a problem. It's only a burp.

Happens to me all the time. Depending on what I ate that day, I might even enjoy it. Truth be told, a burp isn't the worst thing I let fly while running.

I burp through out the entire run. I've never farted. If I get the urge I'll hold it. Too scared a hostage might get released at the same time. Don't want that to happen.

I watched UFC 94 last weekend. Clay Guida was fighting Nate Diaz and between the first and second rounds they brought the camera right into Clay's corner. Just after he sat down he turned his head and let out a terrific belch! A real bejorker! Then he turned back and they put his mouthpiece back in. I guess it happens to more than just you!

Yep, I belch, too. Though mine are quite ladylike. Wink

Don't worry about the burping, it is the farting that can have more serious consequences! Burping is normally air you have swallowed whilst drinking or eating and all that bumping up and down is just your tummy settling down....better out than in as they say.

My only contribution to this thread is ... a) It is natural b) Check the wind direction and relative position of fellow runners ... and remember that in some cultures a burp/belch is considered very polite. Big grin

Yahoo. Perfect timing, I was really ripping them out on my 5 miler yesterday. And they were loud! And none of them came from my mouth. I was running fast at the time and didn't dare look back, but thankfully I don't think anyone was around. Blush

Sometimes I've found that I can burp out a stomach cramp.

My expulsions usually start around mile 4 or 5.

1. I always figgered that exertion steepens the internal->external gas pressure gradient and this is nature's way of restoring some measure of homeostasis to the system and preventing explosion. An ancillary benefit of this process is that it greatly enhances physical comfort and mental harmony. (Then again, I know very little about either anatomy or chemistry.) 2. "Let go and let God."

It's just your body adjusting the blood flow away from some of your organs to your muscles. Your stomach settles and changes size a bit. I notice it much more if I've just eaten or drank something before heading out the door. And of course, it never fails that the loudest ones always come just BEFORE I notice the attractive female within earshot... Tight lipped

Now, farts are a different story. Running doesn't normally cause them for me. I do notice, though, that usually you can never get the whole thing done all at once. It's more like a piece with each step. And of course, it never fails that the loudest ones always come just BEFORE I notice the attractive female within earshot... Tight lipped

In the interest of high quality science I checked my Garmin, first belch this afternoon was at 0.38 mile. It was not the last.
