I can't run! please help me.

Question

I need to be able to run. I WANT to run. but for some reason I can't. I run about a quarter of a mile and then I get a stitch and I breathe really hard and I have to stop. I feel pathetic. I want to be able to run at least 2 continuous mile, but I don't know how to make a plan to get myself to run. I've tried everything but I can't run more than a quarter mile! i don't have asthma or anything. What can I do? Can someone help me? I eventually want to become really good at running. What should I do?

thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

Your running to fast go at a slower pace and build up.

The Stitch is from lactic acid build up ....drink a full glass of water before running, also breath in through the nose and out through the mouth if you feel a stitch coming on...good luck..

Answer 2

It sounds like you want to join the military or some similar organization.  The only way to be able to run far is to get on a regular program to run far.  You might need to pace yourself ie slow down at the start and then work up to greater speeds and distances.  

Answer 3

you probably don't have enough endurance & cardio respiratory in you to make you last the whole entire way.

try pacing yourself; go a little one day, and a little more the next day.

day by day, you'll get better at running. [:

i hope you make it, lol. xD

hope i helped. <3

Answer 4

You should run everyday little by little as you improve
