SteveMac Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Brighton marathon this weekend finished in 3:23 a 17 minute PB. Negative split of 1:43/1:40, very happy. Birmingham 10k in a couple of weeks. Lot's of running to be done over the summer with the big goal being Berlin marathon in September....going to target 3:15 (HM*2 + 16 mins). If anyone is thinking of Brighton I can highly recommend it, apart from miles 19-22 which go around an industrial area, the support around the rest of the course is fantastic, had me running too fast at times, so needed to slow down! Strava link for anyone interested https://www.strava.com/activities/549468248 Good luck to @andyjsg and anyone else running London this weekend! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have sufficiently strong support muscles it seems to go away. I think it's the other way round - when your leg muscles are strong, but your breathing can't keep up. I've got good lungs and poor muscles, but I never get stitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally looking forward to the weekend. Not totally cold free but feeling much better than last week. According to strava I did a mile PB tonight so can't be in too bad shape, so I'm going to go for my 6:15s and if it's tough going I will drop 10-15 secs a mile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Alternative view, Mizuno Wave enigmas gave me a knee injury My new Adidas supernova glide boost 7 are absolutely brilliant. Horses for courses, some will fit people better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No accepted reason https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_stitch Quote There are other theories regarding side stitches than simple stretching of the visceral ligaments due to repeated vertical translation and jolting. Such theories include: The pain may be caused by an increase in blood flow the liver or spleen. Increased heart rate will force extra red blood cells into the liver which can cause temporary hepatomegaly and portal hypertension.[5] Temporaryhepatomegaly and portal hypertension can restrict blood flow through the portal vein of the liver thus slowing blood flow to the rest of the body; this is why most runner's cramps are felt on the right side near the liver.[5][6] A plausible mechanism for the pain is that high internal pressure in the liver or spleen restricts blood flow, causing hypoxia. Diaphragmatic Ischemia[1][7] Imbalances of the thoracic spine[8] Irritation of the parietal peritoneum[1] Strain on visceral ligaments by a fluid-engorged gut[1][7][9] Shallow breathing[10] For me, it was weakness in the core muscles i.e. core support required to keep you upright, so as I said, it's having enough oxygen uptake to support a speed that your core can't maintain.
