Stitch Summer
Posted in cross stitch on 11/14/2010 08:44 pm by adminWhat causes side stitches when walking or running?
I have been walking and biking for the last year without any problems, but I recently began running and now get a cramp in my left side every time I run, or even walk. I ran all last summer without problems, but now I can only walk a couple steps before I get a cramp. I have tried alternating the foot that I am breathing out on, stretching, and eating bananas (for the potassium) but nothing has worked. Even walking slowly gives me cramps!
Stitches are usually caused by one of (or a combo of) 3 things: 1) lack of oxygen, 2) dehydration, and 3) improper stretching.
Make sure you establish a breathing rhythm and drink enough water. When you stretch, add "diaphragm breathing" (deep breaths in that push your stomach outward --- this will help stretch any knots on your diaphragm that cause the stitches).
You can google core stretching for other good exercises.
