Stitches

[Goo]

How the hell do you stop getting these while running?

I've tried everything; leaving more time between eating and running, drinking more water (even though I drink tonnes already), and even some weird thing my mate told me about tensing your fist which is on the other side to the stitch? Nothing works.

Really starting to mess up my work out routine. I want to run, and I want to get fit, but I can't go more than 5 F'ing minutes without getting a stitch. Moreover it's pretty embarrassing in the gym when I have to stop and rest at that frequency.

I more or less only use the cross trainer now as they don't seem to give me stitches. While the cross trainer is pretty effective, I prefer to run.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Mybe your trying to hard before getting into your stride etc if you cannot hold a conversation whilst running you are running too fast hold back for the first couple of miles and then slowley increase your speed/pace

Stop being a snitch.

The thing is, I don't think I'm going that hard. It's a pacey jog as far as I'm concerned. 12-13Km/h, around about that area. Plus I always warm up on the cross trainer first, then do some interval training on the Xtrainer then move over for a jog. (I think it's called interval training, I basically go hard for thirty seconds then average speed for thirty seconds, and repeat for about 10 minutes)

Speak to someone at the gym - you may be able to sort it out with good breathing techniques while exercising.

You should go to the doctor mate, you don't want it to keep bleeding.

Dont bother with them. Superglue is better

whichever side the stitch is on,as soon as you feel it try stretching it out by raising that side arm.
