6 Ways To Get Rid Of A Running Stitch

10/5/2015

How to get rid of runners side stitch

One of the most irritating things runners get when they are out on their run is getting a stitch. I've put together my top 6 tips to avoid getting that dreaded side stitch.
Picture

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Picture
Make sure you are well hydrated. Water or juice will suffice.

2. Don't over Indulge

Picture
Eating is good eating is important just try not to pig out before your run

3. Use The Bathroom

Picture
This is just common sense plus it eliminates any of bad stuff in you

4. Warm Up

Picture
A few minutes brisk walk or some light aerobic exercises will help greatly. 

5. Massage

Picture
Gently massage the effected area to loosen things up a bit.

6. BREATHE

Picture
Try to regulate your breathing, have a conversation with your running buddy. If you can't or struggle then drop your pace down a bit. Running should be fun, don't let a stitch ruin it.
Top tip
This works every time for me. Take a large deep breath in and then exhale everything until there is no air left. Do this twice and your stitch will be gone. This method is by far the best i have tried.

Running for Beginners in Dundee

31/8/2014

Where to run in Dundee for beginners?

I see a lot of runners at all times of the day in Dundee and i know all to well how it feels to run alone. For me I had terrible anxiety about running alone, so i would go out at 5am or 1am so I wouldn't pass any people. The timings were ruining my body clock and i wasn't getting the best out of my runs.
Picture
I Googled running in Dundee and read all about this amazing running group in Dundee that was more focused on the community spirit of things than competitive runs.
Picture
The club meet up at the Sweatshop Store based in David Lloyd in Monifieth (click here for location).

The club goes out 3 times a week.

  • Tuesday 7pm - 5km/8km
  • Wednesday 6:30pm - 5km/8km
  • Sunday 10:30am - 3km

The video below explains the Sweatshop Running Community better than i ever could.
There is perks to running with the club... like Advice Drinks, T Shirts, Foam Rollers, Watches and Running Shoes, plus it's all FREE!!
Picture
Now i work for the company that organises the runs and have met loads of new people i now class as friends.

Running In Snow

Is it a good idea? I'd have to say no, is it really worth risking months of not running if you slip or fall and hurt yourself. With a day pass as low as £5.99 at Pure Gym in Dundee and other gyms and classes modestly priced across Dundee. It would be a good time to take advantage of all their offers. Oh and here's what inspired this post...

I want to start running

29/1/2014

I am often asked what's the best way to start running for beginners. So I've posted a few things to help you get started or to get back into running. The first is fairly basic but can be printed off or saved so you can see it whenever. It's really easy to follow and should work great for most people although you'll likely advance quicker than the weeks suggest.

There is also a more detailed plan from the NHS called Couch to 5K the involves loads of added extras too.

The highly recommended My Asics lets you decide how far your goal is, then it will come up with a training plan just for you that is printable. It can also be joint up with a free App that includes gps to track your runs. This was recommend to me for my first half marathon and i know of others than use it and love it. Here is a brief review of it from Gizmodo (<-Click to see review)

If you like to be more social and run with other folk then Sweatshop have a beginners group that depart from David Lloyd Gym in Monifieth every Sunday morning at 10.30am. If your felling a bit more adventurous they do 2 other runs that feature 3K/5K/8K on Tuesday night at 7pm and Wednesday night at 6:30pm
