I was a fat kid like 5 years ago, it was extremely tough at first, but after some time after you've built of resistance, strength, flexibility, cramps were literally non existent for me except for some Achilles tightness on random runs that went away when I stopped running after 2 minutes. That level of shape is insane and you literally feel invincible
You can actually get rid of the side stitch while running simply by inhaling when you lift your knee on the opposite side of your body the cramp is occuring while running. It will go away within about 10 paces.
That can drive you insane. A pebble in your shoe for example: It can be totally ignored, until it can't. I live with chronic pain, and although I adapt to it as best I can, it overwhelms me at times and I break down and weep like an infant.
@@ryancopetti3850 Back and right shoulder mostly. Although at times it can radiate across my entire torso and constrict like a vice. Additionally, it can move up through my neck and cause blinding headaches. Its the classic nerve pain, the type that will ebb and flow, but never vanish completely.

Yeah man, idk about that. If you're getting that side stitch, you're probably out of shape and haven't ran for a while. You should probably just condition yourself more each day until the stitch goes away rather than risk injury.

4:56 My dad was in the Kosovo war of 1999, and he has an injured foot. He said that during that time, during recovery, he was laying next to a 5 year old boy who lost both of his legs. He said the child was always screaming and crying in agonizing pain, so the nurse that was with the people in that room comes every once in a while to massage and move the childs "leg" wich would help him to go back to sleep. After a while he asked the nurse how is that possible, and she said that humans have some receptors in the body even if there are no limbs there and that they can feel it in some way.
I had a finger amputated. Same thing. When the phantom pain comes (feels like the missing finger was smashed with a hammer), rubbing the hand as though the finger is still there, helps.
List of my minor pain throughout my life: 1. Pain in right side of lower abdomen after running for a while 2. Pain in left upper chest when breathing 3. Shooting pain on middle lower abdomen near the crotch when stretching which feels like your intestine being ripped out while doing it 4. Sudden random minor pain between my pinky fingers & 4th finger while doing nothing 5. Ghost minor pain on my removed left molar teeth 6. Having kneecap pain as a kid for months & couldn't kneel comfortably. Probably because I'm active as a kid and always gets bruises 7. Sudden cramp pain at neck area as a teen when moving my head which happens quite moderately 8. Sudden back cramp at cold midnight even though I lie down comfortably These are all pains that I couldn't figure out throughout my life
You can avoid side stitches when running if you stretch properly. Point both arms up, then bend one arm at the elbow, and grasp that elbow with the other hand and pull towards that side and count to ten while leaning sideways towards the arm that's doing the pulling. Count to ten, then switch sides. Do this three times while walking.
As a runner, I’ve had side pains/camps a LOT when I started running but after my 2nd month of intense training I basically stopped having them, I have yet to have a cramp for more than 6 months
I’m thinking it’s people who don’t hydrate properly. The sweet thing is BS, unless you also aren’t hydrating because sugar can dehydrate which causes cramping. I have smoothies before a long run and have never had this. I train for marathons so I run a lot. Hydrate, people. Always carry water with you.
I wasn't aware about the sugary Foods before a run causing a side stitch, but what I do know is that if you continue to run with one it will go away. The more you do it unless it will occur and go away all together. This is why endurance runners don't get them.
Yeah I haven't had one in over a decade. This video brought back painful memories; but back in middle school I got them constantly when running track and playing football.
As a collegiate runner, listen to your body when it’s hurting. Do as I say not as I do😂. My senior year of high school I tore my ATF ligament in my ankle during my XC season before the state meet. I took 2 weeks off then got back into running and I literally ran my whole outdoor season w that torn ligament… it was doable, extremely painful and I wouldn’t recommend. But I ended up a state champion that season. Felt worth it but now that I’m over 5 months removed from the times that injury initially happened and I still have extreme pain in the ankle when running on it. Long story short if you’re hurt listen to your trainers and or doctors cos I didn’t
This happens every time I run long distance. Usually around 2 or 3 miles at a brisk pace. I used to never really go past that distance. Then one day at 25 years old I decided to not just push through the pain but started striding it out like I was running a 400 or 800. Ended up running 8 miles before I stopped, and I was barely breathing hard after. My heart rate was lower than it used to be at 1/3 of the distance. Those endorphins are serious business. Keep pushing.
Based from my personal running experience, if you experienced pain when running, it is highly advisable to slow down your pace and breathe deeply. Stitches could also be caused by running either too fast pace during a run and consuming a heavy diet before a run. Always do warmup stretches before running.

The muscle thing is not due to lactic acid. It’s been proven that it is due to micro tares in the muscle, which once recovered results in muscle growth. Lactic acid is responsible for muscle FATIGUE and eventually failure once your threshold is hit.
It's not true. Was it for the microtears you would feel the pain after every workout, but that doesn't happen. Only untrained people experience that kind of severe pain after initial workout and days after, but once they keep working out the following days are pain-free.
@@austinblake55 Muscle tears is what hurts your muscles, the Latin acid is the body natural response to stop your muscles from continuing to tear by seizing them up to the point where you have to stop moving and take a break to avoid major tears.
The soreness you get after a workout is not caused by a buildup of lactic acid. During a set, lactic acid builds up which causes pain. This pain immediately goes away when you stop. While working out, you cause small tears in your muscle fibers, this is DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Your body will repair it and come back stronger.
@@TriggerStand Hey I have a question me and my friends run really fast everyday only once in a while it will hurt I think our bodies got used to it because we run even if we can't even feel our legs anymore
3:07 I got that side stitch a lot when I was young. I ran track in 7, 8 & 9th grade. The pain in my side was enough to make me drop out of track after that. In my 20s I started running again but never felt pain in my side again.
the pain chart biggest issue is we all handle pain differently, I sprained my ankle it was maybe a 3 nothing but a nuisance, but that sprain can be an 8 for someone else.
I ended up having to get a root canal a year or so back. My dentist was shocked I wasn't feeling any pain from it. Told me the cavity was down to the nerve. That same thing would have debilitated others.
@@bradknightable yep, I broke my shin 15 years ago if my leg could hold up I probably would have kept walking it was numb but I couldn't walk so I had to go and get it checked out.
For #14, the phantom pain one, the way to fix the phantom pain is using a mirror in place of the limb. You would see reflection of other limb and then have someone touch the other limb so that your brain sees two limbs being touched and that limb is not where the pain is, so it tricks the brain.
Yeah house MD show where house helps a Vietnam veteran from Canada that had a limb blown off house shows him that mirror reflection and it fixes his pain weird
I know from experience to not sit around when you’re in pain, especially when you’ve just had surgery. When I had my hernia surgery, I lied down my couch for a few hours, and then I couldn’t get up. When I tried, it felt like my skin was tearing open. My whole family had to help me get up.
Another thing causes chronic pain: Connective Tissue Disorders That's because the lack of collegen gives the joints less cution and the movement of joints causes pain. Plus hyer extending your joints, which your jonts will do naturally, causes pain too. Sadly, chronic pain makes you used to the pain and able to do daily activities with the pain not bothering you. So what would normally be a 9 or 10 in someone without chronic pain, is a 1-4 for us. My pain tolerance were so strong that when I had kidney stones, I put on an ice pack, took some aleve, and went to sleep. It hurt badly but I managed to get through it.
I also have Ehlers Danlos syndrome and I have never ever had a pain free day. Something has always hurt somewhere for as long as I can actually remember. At the moment it’s my hips knees and wrist and ankle that’s most annoying. Didn’t know that wasn’t normal until I was in my twenties
@XExoticSaviorX bro you can put your mind to anything I had asthma and still did stuff don't make no excuse if it's something you want to do 😂but also I couldn't do the practice at basketball didn't make the team cause of my asthma 😂
the side pain when running has a clear cause for me: eating before the run. I've been really prone to it for my entire life and it has caused a lot of pain for me when I played sports in a team. I had to leave enough time between eating and the practice itself, which was usually 2.5 hrs minimum, otherwise I couldnt run.
I worked with special needs students in highschool and this one girl I worked with had Cerbal Palsy, couldn't feel pain and also couldn't regulate her body temperature and was also non verbal. She broke her leg once and her parents didn't know until they saw her leg was oddly twisted. She threw lots of fits because she couldn't tell her leg was broken at all, it mostly like a sore leg to her. She wanted to stand and move around but couldn't because her leg was in a cast.
A side stitch is a type of cramp that most commonly shows up on the lower sides of your ribs, an easy way to get rid of one while running is to focus your breathing with your pace
Another possible cause of side stitches is a build up of lactic acid within your abdominal muscles. I saw someone mention stretching properly beforehand- buildup of lactic acid is a result of not stretching.
Whoa…This show reads my mind. I’m a runner/weight trainer and this whole summer I’ve suddenly had this “side stitch” during outdoor runs. Started exhaling when my left foot touches the ground and inhaling deeper breaths off my right foot to allow the diaphragm muscles to expand more so they don’t tighten and cramp up…boom-problem solved. Info graphics show drops knowledge at the perfect times.
YOOO INFOGRAPHICS HOW DID U GUYS KNOW?! I been having pain on the side of my stomach every time I ran. I play football and this has been happening for the past month I thought I only had a cramp, but I’m glad u guys make videos like these.
Yup! As a hunter jumper, I get a side stitch after 20 minutes of riding! usually I have to ride through the pain if it isnt too bad. I have tried to workout more and to get more fit to help this pain.
I get side stitches really often if I run, but I can usually tough it out because of my high pain tolerance. I'll also get it if I walk for a while. I noticed that in my case if I apply pressure to it, I can feel vibrations from the area, there seems to be some kind of muscle spasm involved. I also have irritable bowel syndrome and chronic migraine, so I'm inclined to blame it on mild neurological anarchy
I used to get stitches all the time from running and thought it was cause I was a little overweight for my age, till I changed to in through the nose and out through the mouth and it disappeared.
If I did my breathing to the songs I listen to I'd hyper ventilate. Serious point this is actually super helpful and I find I can run 25% longer and with less pain. I usually do it with the strides I'm doing (in every two, out for three)
#16 happens to me whenever I do exercises that involve running like playing football. Was really curious that was why I decided to take a look at this when i got the notification. Kudos to the infographics show. I love you guys
#14 phantom pain has been successfully resolved by doing a nerve block before the amputation. The theory was when patients underwent amputation affected limb was still sending signals that is perceived as pain, so when the prevented the signals via blocks it reduced the case of phantom pain drastically.
I just had this problem while running during practice it hurt less when I stopped running. I really think it was the Gatorade I drank. I suggest only drinking water instead of other sugary drink like Gatorade or anything else.
I used to get them all the time once I joined track and was running 2 mile warm up laps (slow and easy) every day. My coach taught me how to breathe and run properly and that eventually the pain would go away and it did. I also did alot of stretching after I ran and that helped alot kinda miss those days to be honest.
#16 on the hip has been happening to me my entire life and I realized always before it happened it was gatorade that I drank. Thank you so much. Have no idea how much of a life changer this is
I have found that a weak core can cause side stitches. I myself am a runner and since I started doing more core workouts I haven’t had a side stitch in over a year now
I used to be on a cross country team, and would always get stitches at the start of the season. By the end of the season when I was in better shape, I wouldn’t get it anymore
I was actually worried about that pain in the side I sometimes feel when walking intensively after a while, but it always goes away immediately once I stop and rest. This kinda puts me at a bit of ease.
Wait but if pain is a feeling made up entirely of our own bodies how does our body know what supposed to hurt more than other things if we’ve never touched them before
If it's doing the damage the pain receptors will pick it up and tell you not to continue. If you as a 3 year old has never touched fire before and happened to do it, it would be destroying cells in the process which will trigger the pain receptors which will tell you to stop or stay away.
Good question. Although I do think the body has a general sense of touch with what hurts or not, it all comes down to the level of pressure, the shape of the stimulus, and where the stimulus is in relation to contact. In some unusual cases like putting the stimulus between your eyes and upper nose at a distance away your body can instinctively "feel" the object from that distance and can trigger an unpleasant feeling akin to pain. In closing your body has a sensual touch radar a certain distance from your body and this applies to hot or cold temperatures as well so it can determine oncoming stimulus in the environment as pain or no pain. That radar gets a weaker link in adulthood or older people however as this touch sensory in relation to the prefrontal cortex of the brain loses sense with time and aging process.
@@jollyomeatLA evolution didn't happen, but the sensory receptors such as dendrites/nociceptors below the epidermis help detect touch and pain. Sensory receptors are classified by the complexity and what senses they specialize in.
I always had that side pain horrible when I ran at first or if I haven't run in a while. I had this pretty gross habit of reaching under the sides of my rib cage and pulling the lower ribs outwards. It always felt like it helped me breath easier.
My trainer told me that type of pain is the sign that you lack stamina... But I remember when I was runing 5km a day 5 days a week I still felt that pain 3/5 times, and I never ran more than 50% of strenght, 5kms under 35mins
I thought people already knew what this was. I guess I was the only one. My dad told me it’s called a stitch. It happens when you exercise a lot without breathing as much as you should be
Side stitch: my theory is that it is due to straining the subdiaphragmatic suspensory ligaments of the stomach and spleen which bounce up and down when you run. The liver is more firmly attached. Explains why the pain feels like it is deep in the body, more often on the left, hurts on deep breathing, is associated with running on a full stomach, and pain ceases when you stop running. The strained ligaments heal and thicken which is why it happens early in the season, and you can eventually train out of it if you rest and recover enough.
In my experience, the side stitches are the result of the desynchronization of arm swings to leg strides. The force from the ground should travel up the leg, through the torso, and then terminates and disperses into the arm swing. when desynchronized, the energy isnt dispersed properly through the arm and instead terminates in the torso. Ouch. Another important detail is how the force travels up the legs. Side stitches could also be due to excesive heel striking. Heel striking causes the energy to travel up your body through the improper channels. Forefoot striking (the correct way) directs the force through your elastic muscles and tendons. Together, the arch of the foot, achillies tendon and thigh muscles, act like a spring mechanism, guiding the energy up your back muscles and into the arms to be dispersed into a the swing. Heel striking on the other hand, bypasses this whole spring system. The force travels through the heel, up directly through the shin bones (causing shin splints) and then up directly through your internal organs where the arms have a harder time dispersing the energy. Thats because it came through the improper channels. Ofcourse the connective tissue is gonna hurt. The undispersed energy is basically ripping it apart. Ouch. Hope that makes sense.

The muscle thing is not due to lactic acid. It’s been proven that it is due to micro tares in the muscle, which once recovered results in muscle growth. Lactic acid is responsible for muscle FATIGUE and eventually failure once your threshold is hit.
Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure the tears are for the soreness a day or two later. The burning during the excercise is the acid
@@austinblake55 that’s what he just said
It's not true. Was it for the microtears you would feel the pain after every workout, but that doesn't happen. Only untrained people experience that kind of severe pain after initial workout and days after, but once they keep working out the following days are pain-free.
@@austinblake55 Muscle tears is what hurts your muscles, the Latin acid is the body natural response to stop your muscles from continuing to tear by seizing them up to the point where you have to stop moving and take a break to avoid major tears.
The soreness you get after a workout is not caused by a buildup of lactic acid. During a set, lactic acid builds up which causes pain. This pain immediately goes away when you stop. While working out, you cause small tears in your muscle fibers, this is DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Your body will repair it and come back stronger.
Nothing feels better than getting that good ole soreness a day after a workout, I’m actually getting feedback my body is doing something lol

The lesson here: Life is pain...
From the moment youre born to the moment youre in the grave, all pain.
Yeah,to be honest,life is just working and pain sometimes.
Pain is inevitable.
And so is death
Life is pain! I wake up every morning, I'm in pain! I go to work in pain! Do you know how many times I wanted to just give?
3:07 I got that side stitch a lot when I was young. I ran track in 7, 8 & 9th grade. The pain in my side was enough to make me drop out of track after that. In my 20s I started running again but never felt pain in my side again.
How many miles do you run?
@@heha2684 None today, my hip will need to be replaced if I keep running. Before I was running 5-7 miles daily.
the pain chart biggest issue is we all handle pain differently, I sprained my ankle it was maybe a 3 nothing but a nuisance, but that sprain can be an 8 for someone else.
I ended up having to get a root canal a year or so back. My dentist was shocked I wasn't feeling any pain from it. Told me the cavity was down to the nerve. That same thing would have debilitated others.
@@bradknightable yep, I broke my shin 15 years ago if my leg could hold up I probably would have kept walking it was numb but I couldn't walk so I had to go and get it checked out.

For #14, the phantom pain one, the way to fix the phantom pain is using a mirror in place of the limb. You would see reflection of other limb and then have someone touch the other limb so that your brain sees two limbs being touched and that limb is not where the pain is, so it tricks the brain.
Yeah house MD show where house helps a Vietnam veteran from Canada that had a limb blown off house shows him that mirror reflection and it fixes his pain weird
This is incredibly difficult to do irl. Remember the brain knows someone put a mirror up.

@@wongalahara8196 Ever heard that thing about how placebos work even when you know it’s a placebo? Bet it falls under that.
I know from experience to not sit around when you’re in pain, especially when you’ve just had surgery. When I had my hernia surgery, I lied down my couch for a few hours, and then I couldn’t get up. When I tried, it felt like my skin was tearing open. My whole family had to help me get up.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE SIDE STITCH. I’ve never know till now and I’m so happy
Another thing causes chronic pain: Connective Tissue Disorders
That's because the lack of collegen gives the joints less cution and the movement of joints causes pain. Plus hyer extending your joints, which your jonts will do naturally, causes pain too.
Sadly, chronic pain makes you used to the pain and able to do daily activities with the pain not bothering you. So what would normally be a 9 or 10 in someone without chronic pain, is a 1-4 for us.
My pain tolerance were so strong that when I had kidney stones, I put on an ice pack, took some aleve, and went to sleep. It hurt badly but I managed to get through it.
I've got Ehlers-Danlos and this comment is true
I can dislocate joints on command its hilarious
I also have Ehlers Danlos syndrome and I have never ever had a pain free day. Something has always hurt somewhere for as long as I can actually remember. At the moment it’s my hips knees and wrist and ankle that’s most annoying. Didn’t know that wasn’t normal until I was in my twenties

the side pain when running has a clear cause for me: eating before the run.
I've been really prone to it for my entire life and it has caused a lot of pain for me when I played sports in a team. I had to leave enough time between eating and the practice itself, which was usually 2.5 hrs minimum, otherwise I couldnt run.
I always wanted to know this, The gods have blessed me

I worked with special needs students in highschool and this one girl I worked with had Cerbal Palsy, couldn't feel pain and also couldn't regulate her body temperature and was also non verbal. She broke her leg once and her parents didn't know until they saw her leg was oddly twisted. She threw lots of fits because she couldn't tell her leg was broken at all, it mostly like a sore leg to her. She wanted to stand and move around but couldn't because her leg was in a cast.
I have had side stitches for years and never knew why. I just thought it was because I was out of shape. Now I know thank you.
A side stitch is a type of cramp that most commonly shows up on the lower sides of your ribs, an easy way to get rid of one while running is to focus your breathing with your pace
my high school pe teacher : “if you keep exercising the pain will go away”
*continues to feel the pain for 2 consecutive weeks*
'My side's hurt from running'
Usian bolt: *Hold my baton*
no way we're 15 seconds in and the video is already too relatable 😭😭😭
Another possible cause of side stitches is a build up of lactic acid within your abdominal muscles.
I saw someone mention stretching properly beforehand- buildup of lactic acid is a result of not stretching.
This is so relatable I couldn’t help but click.

This is what I’ve been wondering about for years in my life.
Whoa…This show reads my mind. I’m a runner/weight trainer and this whole summer I’ve suddenly had this “side stitch” during outdoor runs. Started exhaling when my left foot touches the ground and inhaling deeper breaths off my right foot to allow the diaphragm muscles to expand more so they don’t tighten and cramp up…boom-problem solved. Info graphics show drops knowledge at the perfect times.

At what time on the video does he address the running pain?
Well as a runner I’ll just say that when you’re running it’s mental so you can embrace the pain or just say you’re gonna quit and slow down
I luv ❤ how the grandpa was like “I miss being young” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That happens to me at school P.E, and I'm completely thinking in my mind why it hurts, thanks for explaining why!
YOOO INFOGRAPHICS HOW DID U GUYS KNOW?! I been having pain on the side of my stomach every time I ran. I play football and this has been happening for the past month I thought I only had a cramp, but I’m glad u guys make videos like these.
You didn't know them as side stitches? They're so common from running, but I guess as a track and cross country runner I know about it.
Yup! As a hunter jumper, I get a side stitch after 20 minutes of riding! usually I have to ride through the pain if it isnt too bad. I have tried to workout more and to get more fit to help this pain.
I get side stitches really often if I run, but I can usually tough it out because of my high pain tolerance. I'll also get it if I walk for a while. I noticed that in my case if I apply pressure to it, I can feel vibrations from the area, there seems to be some kind of muscle spasm involved. I also have irritable bowel syndrome and chronic migraine, so I'm inclined to blame it on mild neurological anarchy
To avoid cramps during a run i always breath in with my nose and out with my mouth using a pattern, usually a beat from a song helps
I used to get stitches all the time from running and thought it was cause I was a little overweight for my age, till I changed to in through the nose and out through the mouth and it disappeared.
If I did my breathing to the songs I listen to I'd hyper ventilate. Serious point this is actually super helpful and I find I can run 25% longer and with less pain. I usually do it with the strides I'm doing (in every two, out for three)
#16 happens to me whenever I do exercises that involve running like playing football. Was really curious that was why I decided to take a look at this when i got the notification. Kudos to the infographics show. I love you guys

#14 phantom pain has been successfully resolved by doing a nerve block before the amputation. The theory was when patients underwent amputation affected limb was still sending signals that is perceived as pain, so when the prevented the signals via blocks it reduced the case of phantom pain drastically.
I just had this problem while running during practice it hurt less when I stopped running.
I really think it was the Gatorade I drank.
I suggest only drinking water instead of other sugary drink like Gatorade or anything else.
1:47 SHAKE IT BABYYYY
I used to get them all the time once I joined track and was running 2 mile warm up laps (slow and easy) every day. My coach taught me how to breathe and run properly and that eventually the pain would go away and it did. I also did alot of stretching after I ran and that helped alot kinda miss those days to be honest.

I have found that a weak core can cause side stitches. I myself am a runner and since I started doing more core workouts I haven’t had a side stitch in over a year now
7:40 the best advice yet
how to relieve pain: get busy >:)
I used to be on a cross country team, and would always get stitches at the start of the season. By the end of the season when I was in better shape, I wouldn’t get it anymore
I was actually worried about that pain in the side I sometimes feel when walking intensively after a while, but it always goes away immediately once I stop and rest. This kinda puts me at a bit of ease.
same i started runnin/waling for hr the last 2months and felt this pain i was worried and now kinda relief
Yes, I do have this kind of pain when I play during elementary times
The pain the brought every tag player down, the hip pain. The good old elementary days.
Some crosscountry ski coach said me ”ski trainin is nothing more than only pain”
The questions I asked as a kid are now being answered. Subbed
*There's no freedom from pain. Only freedom through it!!*
Wait but if pain is a feeling made up entirely of our own bodies how does our body know what supposed to hurt more than other things if we’ve never touched them before
If it's doing the damage the pain receptors will pick it up and tell you not to continue. If you as a 3 year old has never touched fire before and happened to do it, it would be destroying cells in the process which will trigger the pain receptors which will tell you to stop or stay away.
Good question. Although I do think the body has a general sense of touch with what hurts or not, it all comes down to the level of pressure, the shape of the stimulus, and where the stimulus is in relation to contact. In some unusual cases like putting the stimulus between your eyes and upper nose at a distance away your body can instinctively "feel" the object from that distance and can trigger an unpleasant feeling akin to pain. In closing your body has a sensual touch radar a certain distance from your body and this applies to hot or cold temperatures as well so it can determine oncoming stimulus in the environment as pain or no pain. That radar gets a weaker link in adulthood or older people however as this touch sensory in relation to the prefrontal cortex of the brain loses sense with time and aging process.
Nah, evolution
@@jollyomeatLA evolution didn't happen, but the sensory receptors such as dendrites/nociceptors below the epidermis help detect touch and pain.
Sensory receptors are classified by the complexity and what senses they specialize in.
I’ve had that happen quite a lot and never figured out what was causing it. Thanks for answering!
God loves you
I always had that side pain horrible when I ran at first or if I haven't run in a while. I had this pretty gross habit of reaching under the sides of my rib cage and pulling the lower ribs outwards. It always felt like it helped me breath easier.
My trainer told me that type of pain is the sign that you lack stamina... But I remember when I was runing 5km a day 5 days a week I still felt that pain 3/5 times, and I never ran more than 50% of strenght, 5kms under 35mins

FINNALY SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT THE PAIN WHILE RUNNING OR WALKING
This answered on of my lifelong questions. THANK YOU
I thought people already knew what this was. I guess I was the only one. My dad told me it’s called a stitch. It happens when you exercise a lot without breathing as much as you should be
You can go 4 or more times longer than you think you can when that happens.
Side stitch: my theory is that it is due to straining the subdiaphragmatic suspensory ligaments of the stomach and spleen which bounce up and down when you run. The liver is more firmly attached. Explains why the pain feels like it is deep in the body, more often on the left, hurts on deep breathing, is associated with running on a full stomach, and pain ceases when you stop running. The strained ligaments heal and thicken which is why it happens early in the season, and you can eventually train out of it if you rest and recover enough.
In my experience, the side stitches are the result of the desynchronization of arm swings to leg strides. The force from the ground should travel up the leg, through the torso, and then terminates and disperses into the arm swing.
when desynchronized, the energy isnt dispersed properly through the arm and instead terminates in the torso. Ouch.
Another important detail is how the force travels up the legs.
Side stitches could also be due to excesive heel striking.
Heel striking causes the energy to travel up your body through the improper channels.
Forefoot striking (the correct way) directs the force through your elastic muscles and tendons.
Together, the arch of the foot, achillies tendon and thigh muscles, act like a spring mechanism, guiding the energy up your back muscles and into the arms to be dispersed into a the swing.
Heel striking on the other hand, bypasses this whole spring system.
The force travels through the heel, up directly through the shin bones (causing shin splints) and then up directly through your internal organs where the arms have a harder time dispersing the energy.
Thats because it came through the improper channels.
Ofcourse the connective tissue is gonna hurt.
The undispersed energy is basically ripping it apart. Ouch.
Hope that makes sense.
