Muscle. :D


In my sides, and yesterday just slightly under the rib. It always happens after about 10-15 minutes.
Ok, the cramp under the rib is only psychological, believe me

The only solution to that is to train more, when it happens slow down a bit, you can even walk if necessary but then continue to run when it the pain slows down.

As for the sides you need to stretch, do around 6 to 7 exercises after each run, take your time, 5 to 10 minutes, it's just as important as the run itself. If you don't know stretching exercises I'll try to find you some of the most common ones.

I've always liked cardio and I used to do a little bit, but I just got a treadmill last month and now I'm working to improve my endurance. Plus, I've been having this breathing problem where it's hard to get a good breath, but when I run I feel like I can breathe better afterwards.
:heart: Everything feels better afterwards.

Okay, it might have been because I ate too close to when I ran, as it was the first time it ever happened.

I know some pretty common stretches, I just sometimes rush through them. Thank you for the help!

Don't rush, take your time stretching.

What did you eat? I can eat a banana right before I start the run, it works well but more than that it has to be a while before, depending on the size of the meal. And yes a heavy stomach might have an effect on getting a stitch.

Dinner. :D Chicken stir-fry, so my stomach was pretty full.
