Stomach pain while running?

Question

I was doing my running workout and all of the sudden I got a sharp pain in my stomach/gut. I stopped and sat down for 5 mins and slowly the pain went away. What happened?

Answer 1

the muscles in your stomach probablly tightened up.  

Answer 2

most likely a side stitch. its usually caused from drinking or eating too much right before running.  

Answer 3

Likely a side stitch. Usually happens whn you're running, and your breathing pattern isn't consistant, I think.

Answer 4

ahh thats happens to me all the time. u cant drink or eat too much before running, and u have to breathe evenly.

breathe in thru ur nose, out thru ur mouth.
