\n<\/span>Use the toilet at the very last moment before running.
\n<\/span>Watch the volume of food you are consuming before your run. Intake a smaller amount to fuel you well, but to be digested before you run. Try out timings before racing.
\n<\/span>Trial and error meals too! See what works for you and play around with things during light training weeks in order to see what works and what does not.
\n<\/span>Reduce fibre intake. Fibre will push food down so try and avoid this for your pre run fuel.
\n<\/span>Hydrate! Important for any exercise but ensure you have hydrated throughout the day prior to your run. Dehydration can cause stomach upset (as can over-hydration)!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
