Hi all, my friend's got a 21km bib (no shirt) for sale for this sunday's KOTR, RM10 only. Lemme know if anyone's interested, cheers

do you guys always get side stitch when running? how do I prevent it?

2 ways to go abt it..
i guess erm u haven been running long? u need to run longer coz at the moment ur core muscles/ abs or nt strong enough..
once u run longer, ur core muscles will get stronger..
on top of that, try ab exercises like crunches? leg raises? hip twists?

i dun do da ab exercises though ( nt practicing wat i preach)
but i do run on a regular basis

Guys,

Currently when running, I'm feeling pain on the inner side of my left foot. Below the ankle. Kinda like sprain feeling but the pain is felt when I'm lifting the foot off the ground.



If based on this graph, it is at the area of Deltoid ligament and Tibialis Posterior Tendon but more to the latter. What is causing the pain? What can I do to relieve it? What shall I do to prevent it from happening again?

hey hanjo,

none of us here are doctors it may be best to seek professional advice frm a certified profesional..
but judging from ur pain and where it is.. a guess would be ur shoes dun hv enuff ankle support?

when did it start happening? were u doing anything out of the ordinary?
were u trying a diff running style? happens maybe say when oni running uphill or dwnhill?

Dear runners:

I'm in the market for a pedometer (it's going to be a present for a friend), but I know next to nothing about where to get 'em here or what brand/model to go for, since I'm too fat and too lazy to run in a tropical climate. Does anyone have any recommendations?

(Also, I need to buy this within the next week at the latest, so speedy replies are much appreciated.)

angrydog: there's a chap here name is akuadam (flip back a couple pages and I think you'll see his reply) who sells Garmin Forerunner stuff. What you need is a Forerunner 50 + footpod (or if budget allow a FR305 or FR405).

I was kind of hoping for something along the Omron line, but thanks for the tip.

Side stitch is caused by a things the first as pointed out by Devilzzz, your abs/core muscles are weak secondly your breathing technique is wrong

Try incorporating more core workouts if you really plan to run, google up and check in youtube for core excercises, planks, sideplanks , bird dogs just to name a few core workouts that you can try

as for your breathing technique try to run at a comfortable pace 1st and figure out you breathing technique then notch it up higher slowly

@afieQ

Some say when running if u feel a stitch, take long deep breathes..
i find that that kinda helps..

i have jogging shoes, if jogging i only use them..
i meant those working shoes i wear to work everyday is kinda uncomfortable..
i train by runnning at least 2.5k within 15 within or less, after that will train for strength then continue running again...

marvin, simple and devilzzzz, i have signed for Thee NorthFace 100k DUO Challenge in SG - 24 Oct 2009. You guys wanna join...

working shoes? buy new ones?

Hi ccube,

Ehhh... 100km huh..... it is a huge big gap between 42 ler. Let me think think first. The training quite be quite interesting and
torturing

Simple,

you can either do the
1) 100k DUO (ie 2 per team and each runner have to run 50k)

or

2) 50k DUO (ie 2 per team and each runner have to run 25k)

the 100k SOLO is on invitation only!!!!!

not in my consideration for now....
unless i see a vast improvement in my endurance and strength over the coming month.

I do not remember a specific occurrence when it happened. It is kind of built up bit by bit. Then only I'm feeling the pain. I'm feeling it since SCKLM. I can feel after a certain time. If running, I feel it like after 3km. Even walking for a long time can give me the pain too.

After running, do pushups, sit-ups, squats, and etc lor..
