As a trainer, I deal with 2 clients that have this same condition as you. Before strenuous skipping or running I say "go pee first". Although it is of weakened bowel control of muscles, it is also a disorder common for many people who found treatment by wearing a protector for accidents and work on strengthening kegal muscles. Don't worry you are not totally out of the ordinary but I would see you physician to see what recommendations she/he has.
