me running…
There is almost always a ‘but’… As I liked flat route and seeing Old Trafford I disliked the wrong placing of mile markers and the organization at the finishing line. Especially time needed to pick up bag you left before the start…
I have found short article by Lee Simmons about IBS and running on LiveStrong website – Running & Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a painful condition that affects the large intestine and can be especially pronounced among runners. Running places a certain amount of stress on the bowels and in some cases can reveal underlying symptoms caused by IBS. Fortunately, runners can use a number of preventative measures to keep IBS at bay while pounding the pavement on a regular basis.
The effect of IBS on the large intestine can produce a number of symptoms, including cramping, abdominal pain, constipation diarrhea, and bloating gas. IBS does not permanently impair the intestine like other diseases such as Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. The condition is limited to its basic symptoms and does not lead to inflammation or changes in bowel tissue.Identification
Injury… Sessions with physio. No running at all. Just some stationary biking and swimming. But all that is not the same. I was walking little bit, not much cause muscle on the shin was still in pain…
Meds taken… dose increased. That didn’t help. Decided that I will need visit to the doctor. Appointment was scheduled for Friday and I’m glad that I did it. Got additional meds (strange, same dose but looks to be working better)… Now, 7 days on the new meds and after that back to regulars but with higher dose…
