I often get a sharp pain at the side of my abdomen while running so I thought about sharing with you a tip to help alleviate side stitches.
Notice which foot is striking the ground when you inhale and exhale. Then switch the pattern. So if you were leading with your right foot, inhale when the left foot steps. If that doesn’t help, stop running and reach both arms above your head. Bend at the waist, leaning to the side opposite the stitch.
