Question

Answer 1

You have either a stitch or a cramp.

If it's a cramp, just try not to eat too much and stretch a lot.

If it's a stitch, you just have to run through it.  Eventually you will be used to it.

Answer 2

its best to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth in order to not get cramps. stretching is good too.

Answer 3

Stomach cramp!! Those hurt really bad! I just wouldn't eat 30 minutes or less before you start running and stretch!!

Answer 4

Cramp. You have to stretch first and maybe practice more
