Question for the FCRC-
For the last four runs that I've done, I've developed a stitch, same place each time about half way round my circuit.
I haven't changed my warm up, but guessing it's due to this??
Any ideas?
How do you guys/girls warm up before a run? | |||

"Damn you!!! Every time I see fab runners I kick myself for being lazy/fat/banned from running and know I should get my arse out there!!! How on earth do you get banned from running? you're not a Russian athlete are you?

How do you guys/girls warm up before a run? "http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/health_and_fitness/4275830.stm I have to admit that I don't warm up before a run, unless it's a sprinting session (I don't cool down either). I rarely get stitches and I rarely ache after runs - unless I go too far. I also don't eat for at least an hour before a run - for parkrun I don't eat at all (then give me ALL the cake  ) | |||

"Morning!!! I have my 1st C25K session with a group tonight. I’m a bit scared if i’m honest B x" Good luck Betty! I hope you enjoy it. I enjoy the social side of running. If I ran on my own, I would never go out. Let us know how you get on! | |||

"So I disappeared for a few weeks but I'm slowly getting back in to actually moving. Sadly on week 8 of C25k I fractured my foot spectacularly while out running. The 5k I had been working towards doing was out of the question. So yes, I've not given up on it but paused it temporarily." Oh no! I thought I hadn't seen you post here for a bit - I keep meaning to go through old threads and see how people are doing. How did you break your foot? Is it healing now? | |||

How do you guys/girls warm up before a run? "I'm really bad at warming up, if just a training run then I do a few streches then start of running slowly and build, before a race I'd take more time stretching (a mixture of static and dynamic) and about a mile job with a few sprints. If you get a stitch carry on running but breath out, completely emptying your lungs | |||

If you get a stitch carry on running but breath out, completely emptying your lungs "This breathing does help, also when you breath in, breath into your stomach, sounds bit most people fill their lungs by expanding their chest but if you expand your stomach it exercises the diaphragm which helps get rid of the stitch. Warming up will help prevent muscle injuries but do little for your stitch. Also I don't eat too close to my run, I eat when I get back. | |||

"People I suppose I am a bit self conscious about my belly. I would love to try and reduce its prominence. It has gone down since lost weight. But still feel a bit sad bod like, especially in clubs
Just wondering if anyone has any gym type activities that I can help to try and get it down a bit "Personally I don't know your issue, but as someone who struggles with a layer of fat that no one else sees I thought I'd have a quick look online for you. http://www.menshealth.co.uk/fitness/the-5-best-exercises-for-burning-belly-fat (sorry mods if that's not an approved source!)

Or breath out sharply and stamp your foot on the side which has the stitch. I've been told it does work! | |||

Felt nice to stretch my legs in the second run. 8k OMG "To put into context - I'll do pace in k rather than miles: Run 1 - average pace 8:30 per k (so 6k done in 51 minutes exactly) Run 2 - average pace 6:34 per k (so 2k done in 13:12) The longer distance you do, the slower you go. Although when I was running regularly my 10k pb average pace was quicker than my 5k pb average pace. | |||

"Gearari 5-in-1 Super Bright 4 Modes LED Head Torch""I would rather go lighter and dimmer, most of my route is pavements and streetlights, with the odd short alleyway. Thanks for the input though. | |||
