Gut Health and Running Performance


 
What you defecate is directly related to your running performance.

Online Running Coach Fatih Buzgan

You might have heard that our intestines are our 2nd brain, true.

If your GI system doesn't work well, it affects your ability to digest food and absorb the nutrients well. This condition causes even mental retardation through malnutrition! You don't want to lose your abilities about creative thinking, right? Read on.

You know we have bacteria in our intestines, both good and bad. Bad ones cause bad things in simple terms, but good ones do good things regards our health. So we better keep them play in the game!

I wouldn't be able to win Dalyan Caretta Run Half Marathon race, if I had diarrhea then

Constipation

If we're constipated, we can't get rid of the by-products and the toxins within our bodies and they stay within us! You don't want that to happen, right?

There're countless reasons for constipation. Here are a few of them that are worth to mention;

1) Bad partner/spouse

2) Negative energy (through "friends", tv, social media, newspaper, colleagues etc)

3) High consumption of simple carbohydrates

4) Lack of fiber in your nutrition

5) Inadequate liquid consumption

6) Low magnesium (Due to a diet high in refined carbs))

7) Low serotonin levels due to stress factors I listed above and lack of some positive energy sources

8) Staying on the couch or not having an active life (as running only twice a week and beefing around for the other 5 days)

You may see me running with a disturbed gut in my 2:45h Leipzig marathon performance, instead of running it in 2:39h. Lessons taken.


Diarrhea

If you've diarrhea, you're doomed. You run out of gas, I mean the fuel. Imagine that you've a Ferrari with no battery, it's useless. You can't show off anyone with an immobile sports car :) You've got the idea.

Diarrhea, cause loss of your valuable minerals that should be your bloodstream. Those are also called electrolytes, your electricity substances. If you've diarrhea, you've no electricity in your body! No proper nutrient absorption, no benefit obtained from those organic expensive foods, alas!

I've been coaching athletes at any level from all around the world and this is what I initially share with them. Eat healthy foods, stay away from negative energy, feed your good bacteria down there in your body!

All these apply to living a healthy life, aside from being an athlete as well. So, it's better to keep these in mind and live according :)

Have a great running time everyone!
