Marathon runners are hard core, and their supporters are too! Here are a few funny signs that people hold during races (the last two are the best!) at Elite Feet: Link – Thanks Matt!

Heh, used to hear some of the runners in cross-country brag about how they took a shit while running. Classsyyy.

What’s even less classy is when it really happens and people post the photos on the net.

I can’t imagine pooping while running in front of a crowd. It’s hard enough just being on the phone.

I have to find more of these pictures. Hilarious! It’s like peeing while weightlifting!

As a marathoner, I’ve never done it, but it’s not uncommon. Unexpected things can happen to your body after running twenty miles.

I’ve heard that marathon runners bodies sort of shut down after a while and some folks just lose control of their bowels. True?

Absolutely true. Even with years of conditioning, the demands on your body are extreme and any condition that you would normally never notice can become severe. Running a marathon with a cold can actually kill you. The worst I’ve ever had was a six-mile blackout from exhaustion and dehydration. Nothing too bad, but enough to make you realize the potential danger in it.

Thanks! I used to have a teacher who would run marathons and claim how he’d have to avoid poop on the tracks but he would never explain why said poop was there. Now I know.
