"I peed blood."
Stop there. That's a line I often hear - but there's a huge difference between urine that is pink lemonade, for example, and urine that is frank blood, maybe even with clots. Pink lemonade, cranberry juice, red-wine, or thick, clotty blood - those are the choices I usually give. From there, I move things higher or lower on the differential. Amnesia mentioned a long run causing "bladder trauma" - never ever seen that one, nor can I imagine the mechanism. Maybe he meant bladder TUMOR, which yes, presents with gross hematuria.
My advice would be obviously to visit your local urologist - a cystoscopy (camera in the bladder) and a CT scan could be in your future, if you want to rule out other causes of the hematuria and put the blame on the stones.

After running 19 miles, I peed blood. Within a minute of stopping. I immediately assumed i had kidney stones, and the er confirmed that i do. 2 calcium oxilate stones. They are still in the kidneys, and they aren’t large, but obviously big enough to cause a “significant” amount of blood in my urine. I am happy to share the lab results if it would help answer this:
How bad is it to keep running if i keep peeing blood?
