Running Tip No.2
Going to the Toilet – Be Like a Bear!
Alright, ultra-runners, let’s get real about the call of nature. When it’s time to go, think like a bear, leave no trace!
Some folks pack toilet paper, which is cool, but remember to bag it up and take it with you. For the adventurous, nature’s got your back (side) with some eco-friendly options.
Bracken: It’s everywhere and gets the job done, but it’s about as comfy as a rock in your shoe. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
Dock Leaves: Your middle-of-the-road option. They’re easy to find and fairly effective. Think of them as the standard issue TP of the wild.
Moss: Now we’re talking luxury! Soft, absorbent, and downright posh. This is the royal treatment when the mother-in-law visits.
So, when nature calls during your ultra, be prepared and leave no trace. Embrace the wild and keep those trails pristine. Happy trails and happy tails!
