Do you guys ever cut a few while on the treadmill?

it really sucks because I can recognize i'm gonna have some trouble down there BEFORE the workout but when i try to take care of business on the can, nothing happens.

it's only AFTER my blood starts pumping and the adrenaline starts rushing (i.e. after a few minutes on the treadmill) that anything starts stirring down there.

of course, it's not that big a deal if there's nobody around. if that's the case i just let loose because it removes all the unnecessary pressure that normally impedes the effectiveness of my running.

but if there are others around (as there were yesterday, including one smoking hot chick using the elliptical next to me) i end up being tortured by my predicament with the sad result that it sometimes comes out, unallowed.

sigh.

Yes. I've lost most of my flatulant inhibitions years ago. I do it so frequently that to hold it in I'd be in constant agony. I utterly detest people who do it next to me on the treadmill but sometimes I feel the need, so I have to not judge them too harshly.

Thankfully I have never been faced with your problem. I'm just glad I didnt have my mouth full of water because it would have ended up on my keyboard and monitor.

Bad thing with farting on a treadmill is, even though you running, you can't get away from the smell any faster.

Ironically what you're describing is healthy, to be able to expel internal gas like that...

Perhaps you should get a treadmill for home.

there is alot about this on google I believe.

You will want to cut out gassy foods, possibly take a supplement that helps, etc.

Another thing that works for some in your situation is a 'warmup' first and then get to the serious 'run' after nature takes it's course.

Yep...I let em rip on the recumbent bike all the time. Nothing like a power pedal gas release.

Coming from a guy whos run more miles than God could ever count I'd have to say it's natural to rip'em while jogging. Ever try to hold one in while doing jumping jacks? Heh heh, simply impossible! If you ever see the chick again you can always stare at her like you normally would a hot chick, your chances of hooking up with her may be zero, but hot chicks are a real pain in the ass anyway.

After you fart and smell it look at the hot chick next to you and make a disgusted face and walk away pissed off.
