To keep up her pace, Tamara Torlakson relieved herself mid-marathon without stopping.

She doesn't regret it: She ended up beating her best time 13 months postpartum.

But at mile 13 or 14, she realized she needed to go to the bathroom. She didn't want to lose physical or mental momentum by stopping, nor did she want one pit stop to prompt her colon to request several.

"I thought, 'I don't know if it's possible to poop while running, but I will try,'" Torlakson said. "I didn't want one poop to mess it all up."
