However, occasionally a runner pushes themselves so far they lose control of their bowels. There's a famous incident that occurred at the Olympics many years ago with a female runner that had pooped her pants and kept going and got to the point where she was actually crawling the last several hundred meters just to finish.
P.S. The world record for a marathon is something just over 2 hours so they don't usually last long enough to worry about bathroom breaks and it's not likely he new it was coming

That is an amazing story..
I use to run a lot when I was in ROTC..we ran for over 1.5 hours straight ..not many of us were left but we kept our poop in place! It was the hardest most exhausting thing I had ever done..I could not imagine running for longer than that! A few did puke...
I could not run that distance now!
I was great at running when I was younger..I have four brothers so I learned early on..the faster the better! It was all about pace when we ran at school..it was for charity...
