Hiya I'm hoping someone out there can give me some advice. Ive got a couple of problems.
I'm about to start the Couch 2 5K training. I can run on a treadmill easily for 10 minutes but any longer and I get a crippling stitch in my right side. I have tried all sorts to get rid of it. But its so bad I can't run through it can anyone tell me what I can do to ease it but keep running and dies it eventually go or is it something I'm lumbered with?
The other thing is a puzzle to me. Like I said I can happily run on the treadmill no probs but as I intend to do the C25K outside I went out for a run tonight. I could barely run for 3 minutes I was running on the flat and totally lost my breath now I'm home it's been an hour since I ran and I've got a tickle cough and a bit of a wheeze. I'm not asthmatic or have breathing difficulties otherwise. When I run on the treadmill it's the stitch that stops me not my breathing. I know running outside is harder but I didn't expect this!!!
My fitness isnt what it used to be as I tore my calf muscle in January and it's been a long recovery but the physio had me running for 10 mins on the treadmill and it was no bother!
I really want to do this because I've set my mind to it but I'd love some advice or even just reassurance that it gets better. Thanks x
