Run 30m, first 22m at 12kmh finished on 10kmh cos I felt a stitch coming lol.
Gonna run Friday then working the next 3 days so have 3 days off
Also after 2 years of trying I got my girlfriend to come to the gym with me. She's never done any exercise in her life (yet is like 48kg lol) and managed 30m of walk/run heh
damn that's surprising that it took that long. lmao.
Yesterday did upper body
Chins 12 12 10
Ohp 26kg single arm, can't remember reps and 20 for 10 ish
Did some flys and face pulls and some Curls and Tris as usual I can't rmemeber numbers just going through the motions really
Tried to run again today wanted to do 30mins at 12kmh legs and everything felt fine but debilitating side stitches... What the fuck is causing these? It's ruining running for me at the moment.
Been a really rubbish week of training and work
how much water do you drink before? and is your stomach "satisfied" with food?
ie something like oatmeal + salt 45-60 min before with a bunch of water to wash it down.
before my light runs, i do orange juice, banana, and alot of water (~30min before the run).
before races lately I do the same ^^ but also oatmeal + pink salt + honey (~1 hour or more before the race).
one of the big keys for me was "superhydration". I just wasn't hydrated enough.. used to get side stitches *alot*
interestingly, the first side stitch i've had in months happened on monday (iirc), just lost so much water and boom, started cramping up near 1h40m.
also, if you do side stitch, no matter what you do prior the next few days etc, i feel like it can happen again regardless. seems like some "damage" can be done, which causes subsequent stitches. one thing i've done in the past is run/walk in those situations. stitch coming on, stop immediately and walk for a while. try some running again etc. but running through side stitches seemed to do some kind of actual damage. so i avoid it.
just some thoughts.
pc!
On 3 hours sleep
5k 23.54 (previous 24.14)
solid dude!!QuoteFeels so good to be getting better weak in weak out, I haven't felt like this with weightlifting since I was like 20 (I'm 24 so it's been a while)
ya. awesome.
as you get better with running, there's so many different ways to PR, it's kinda endless & really fun.
fix that sleep tho hah.
10k 52.45s
Killed me. For some reason I was really motivated to break 50 today lol, slightly overambitious.
Started strong at 12kmh, hit 5k and mentally couldn't keep up so slowed with a plan to finish strong but then around 7k I started getting side stitches so the end was a mix of 10-12km/h lol
haha nice!! sounds like a solid attempt. probably get it next time if you don't cramp up.
sucks about the stitches. after a while of consistent running, they eventually "rarely if ever" happen. they are real hell tho, i dread getting them. doesn't happen anymore, used to happen alot tho. sometimes i do worry about getting one tho, been lucky!
pc!
