    Hi There,
    Just a quick (and rather embarrassing) question. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop "runners trots"? It's the only the only thing that hinders me as I train for an upcoming marathon. Any advice would be most welcome :)
    Thanks

    Too much dairy produce to close to a run can be problem. Watch how close before a run you eat.

    coffee and bananas are a lethal combination for me. Raisins can also be a pain in the bum (boom boom) for me.

    Brown bread rips through a friend of mine but doesn't affect me.

    A bit of trial and error is what's needed on your part

    dioralites can be taken before your run, can some times help and good for getting salts etc back into you after a long run. or hangover!!
