Wainy316 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Been running for a about a month now, doing about 5 miles but looking to go further. I've got shin splints and bad calves though as I don't have proper running shoes. Are Nike Revolution 2 any good? Nice and cheap on Mike Ashley's web-site, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as good as it sounds. It was a mini duathlon 2.5k run, 12k cycle, 2.5k run. Balls out from the start. Managed the first run averaging 5.50/mile though which is good for me.

andyjsg Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 Well done guys, great performances this weekend. Have a couple more small training sessions but now it's all about getting to the start of VLM niggle or cold free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) How do you all get over stitch? It seems whenever I run I get to the 3/4k mark and then always get stitch! I try slowing down and waiting for the pain to go and then speeding back up but it seems to instantly come back. It forces me to stop. I just can't seem to get past the 4k mark. Occasionally I'll have a really good day with no stitch and easily do 5 or 6k. But it's very rare I've tried running in the morning, lunch break, evening, not eating, eating, not drinking water, drinking water.... really don't know what causes it Edited April 19, 2016 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I slow down the pace and put four fingers underneath the rib which is hurting. It then goes away. Isn't stitch when you're over doing it? Maybe you haven't got a very high speed ceiling? I don't know what I'm saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2016 I always thought a stitch was something to do with your salt levels and/or dehydration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 They can't actually decide what specifically causes stitch but as side stitch is a common complaint for runners and I always used to get it when running faster than my fitness allowed. I don't get it now as I run out of oxygen before my lats give up. When I did some core strength work (specifically press ups) it made them strong enough to cope with what was demanded of them. Drinking anything made no difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking anything made no difference. Possibly related to smoking if it's to do with oxygen levels? Think I need to try and improve my core then. And quit smoking.

Nobody in the group got it - and there were some seriously fast guys there. Although I say it myself, my cardiovascular system is very good (musculoskeletal is a different story). Maybe that's the secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the secret. I think it's very much a thing you get when your muscles are catching up with your aerobics. Once you have sufficiently strong support muscles it seems to go away.
