6 Ways To Get Rid Of A Running Stitch

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.

Top 10 Tips For Running With Asthma

29/12/2014

1 Comment

 
Yes, i have asthma. No that doesn't mean i can't run!

1. Remember your INHALER!!!

Picture
Seems pretty simple right. Why do you think there is a cute little pocket on the back of your running shorts/tights aahhhh...

2. Hot Yoga (Bikram Yoga)

Picture
Bikram / Hot Yoga consists of 26 postures and two breathing exercises over 90 minutes in a heated room to allow the body to stretch, detoxify, relieve stress, tone, and heal chronic pain, joint aches and most importantly Asthma.

What is "HOT YOGA"

3. Buy a Buff

Picture
Like now!!! There is so many designs to choose from starting at £10 you'll be raging you never bought one sooner. Total lifesaver. Available at Dundee Sweatshop

4. Avoid Triggers

Picture
The Weather, Pollen, Cold Drinks, Pollution, Dust, Road Works, Emotions, Foods, Animals. The list is endless and everyone has theirs. Avoid these at all costs. No one wants to have their day ruined by a tiny daisy. List of possible triggers here: Asthma Triggers A-Z

5. Have a plan

Picture
Carry your inhaler and a phone with an updated I.C.E contact. Here's how to do so http://www.wikihow.com/ICE. if possible wear an I'D band like the ones you get from Cram

6. Set Goals

Picture
Choose a distance per run and stick with it. Run with a friend or running group, make it relaxed. Don't push yourself to the point you feel uncomfortable. Running is meant to be fun. It doesn't matter how long it took you or how many times you stopped/walked/jogged. The main thing is your out there doing it and for that we salute you.

7. Choose your route

Picture
Choose your routes wisely avoiding heavy traffic and road works because of dust and pollution. Also remember the cold is terrible for asthma. Best times to be out are from 11am to 7pm. Treadmills exist too if your super keen.

8. Warm Up

Picture
There is published medical papers that indicate a mixed intensity warm up work out can have a great affect on running with asthma. See the findings here.. PubMed.Gov

9. Breathe

Picture
Find your pace and stick with it until you get better over a period of time. You are not Usain Bolt. If you can't hold a "comfortable" conversation while running then step off the gas. There's other days to smash that personal best.

10. Warm Down

Picture
Remember to warm down. If you suddenly stop your body sometimes panics about the decrease of demand on your lungs. Don't give your self a scare. Here's a great warm down video: Slow-down-breathing-after-running

Congratulations you are a runner
go out and take on the world.

Stairs = the enemy of the distance runner

14/6/2014

I've been mentioning this video a lot lately, I too know the pain and suffering of descending stairs after a half marathon and this video captures it perfectly.
Remember folks after a big distance run you should warm down / stretch / ice bath or cold shower then compression wear for the fastest recovery.

Running In Snow

17/2/2014

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...
