If you get a cramp, stop, raise your arm on the side your cramp or stitch is on (raise it straight up over your head) and take some deep breaths, this will usually alleviate the issue temporarily. Try slowing down a bit (trust me, I've been there, lol)
PS, I've raced a few marathons as well as all the shorter distances, and found a great resource for a lot of my running related questions here: www.runnersworld.com/forums
lol, PSSS: The Garmin Forerunner 205 is a great training tool |
You know i think you are right- when i run outside it seems SO much eaiser than on the treadmill ( i need the visual stimulation) plus, there are some slight up hill areas- so i'm sure i'm working harder outside than inside. I"ll try slowing it down a bit.
