Answer #3

it is most likely a stitch but if is always in your left side then you may have pulled a muscle and need to rest it or be VERY careful. ;)

Answer #4

Sounds like a stitch… it’s when your diaphragm (the tissue that separates your cardiac organs with your stomach) isn’t getting enough oxygen when you’re exercising.

Make sure you’re taking the time to stretch properly before and after exercising… and practice taking in DEEP breaths that hit the bottom of your lungs while you’re running.

When you feel the burn/pain, you have to stop and take a couple minutes to catch your breath.

Take it easy!!
