CaitlinM Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi, I'm on day 13 of whole30 and every run I've been on in the last 2 weeks I've got a stitch after about 1-2km. I was running before I started whole30, same distances, with no problems. I rarely get stitches so I can't work out why now! Anyone experienced this during their whole30? I don't know that it is related, but I can't think of anything else. Caitlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergatron Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What are you doing before your run? What food are you eatin? How long before etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaitlinM Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 sometimes I'd have a cup of water, sometimes not. Sometimes I have a really small snack like half an apple or some nuts. My partner thinks it's to do with overall hydration and fitness. I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergatron Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know personally if I have anything in my stomach before I goto athletics, I feel heavy and sluggish. Then I usually get a stitch from that. So I've started eating 2 hours before I run. Upping your water could help too big time! Running while dehydrated stucks... You might need a few more extra calories too if your runs are long and intense? Try making slight changes and see what works for you. Hope you get it sorted!

Ifjewel Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's probably not the Whole 30, but fruit before a run? Yikes! The only thing worse would be nuts before a run. The best PWO meal is the 10-20 lbs of adipose tissue we carry around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Hefta-Gaub Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's probably not the Whole 30, but fruit before a run? Yikes! The only thing worse would be nuts before a run. I love nuts and fruit before and during long runs. Never had any problems. The best PWO meal is the 10-20 lbs of adipose tissue we carry around. But this is the best quote ever! Totally agree!
