Kind of curious to read that. Lots of reviews!

Yeah on the loop, life saver as the loop isn’t ideal for wild poos.

You could always do it where some dog owners think it's acceptable for their dogs to go.... middle of path.

My most memorable and the one I'm most proud of was on a night time trail run in a corner of the car park at my local playing fields. Fairly remote down the end of a gravel track in the dark no reason for anyone to be within half a mile radius at this time of night but as soon as i dropped my shorts and squatted i see headlights coming into the car park. The car park is pretty big probably an acre even still its coming straight for me and stopped right opposite the corner 3-4 metres from where I'm shitting headlights dazzling my eyes. I'm guessing their about to either do drugs or fuck maybe both if their lucky. But i can't style this one out so I have to front it out so i just decided to stare at the guy driving and maintained eye contact until they turned around and left. It was probably only a 20 second stare down but these situations always seem much longer at the time. I suppose the moral of the story is do what you've got to do and just own it 💩🥺💪

As someone who has never done a wild poo please may I ask how one wipes - do you find leaves or grass? What about autumn when the leaves are crispy? So many questions.
-
• #26386
Being mindful of stinging nettles, gather a large handful of grass before settling down for business. Broad leaves will do in a pinch, though you may wish to layer up for the luxury two-ply quilted feel.

The first time, you make do with what leaves you can find. The second time, you're better prepared and you have tissues with you.
-
• #26388
If you squat properly, you can get away without wiping if you don't have anything to hand to wipe with.
Or take off a sock.

Nobody want a free Hackney Half entry? I might even have a second one from a mate.

I once had to go wild twice, during the Southern xc championships at Stanmer Park. Very annoying as I was in the shape of my life and would probably have got to 10.

Hackney Half today - forgot what a lovely race this is, so much cheering and people banging out tunes from their windows along the route!
Training hasn’t been on point recently but crawled home 2 seconds shy of 2 hours.
Ow my legs hurt now though.

Well done ! .. my only run of the weekend was a miserable 7km this evening.. had to dig out my hi-viz for the first time which never helps my mood

Is anyone tapering for London this weekend?
What sort of mileage are you doing over the next few days? I'm trying to work out whether to do the 5 miles that the training plan suggests
-

Are you working out whether to do more or less?
I'm not doing London, but if I was then I think I'd happily do 5mi early in the week, then probably a bit of cycling at some point, and an easy 15mins or so with a few strides on the Saturday.
Generally with a taper then you should be getting itchy feet and feeling like you're not quite doing enough...
I've got a crevasse rescue book which has a whole chapter on how to take a dump safely on a glacier.
