weirdness

ok so latley when I run I get this sick burning feeling in my stomach
its strange I eat at least 2 hours before I run
and I have a balanced diet
I have no clue
any ideas?

Are you running with good posture?

Your stomach could be empty. This happens to me a lot. I'm so careful about not eating that I end up running without having eaten for 3-4 hours, and my stomach is so empty that it starts to burn. Now I try eat a decent amount of food 2 hours beforehand and I drink 16 oz of water an hour beforehand.

i get horrible stomach pains where it feels like my stomach is twisting itself in agony and i have to stop and take dumps whenever possible. no clue why it happens so if anyone has any ideas...

dude i get that same thing. it sucks

I got a bad cramp today. I ate about an hour and a half beforehand and drank a lot of water an hour before.

I have the same problem, my stomach really hurts during and after a run. I wait 1+ hours before I eat/run but that doesnt seem to matter. But I think running on empty almost works better (I know that doesnt make sense)

And to those who need to take "dumps" when running, you could have IBS..maybe, a kid on my xc team had it and could have been way better but he would get terrible cramps because he needed to ummm poo. yeah =/ but for having that he was decent. that doesnt mean you have it though.

whats IBS?

what is IBS? because i had the problem again today

umm google it.. lol

I dont want to diagnose anyone =/

I'm just guessing because thats what my friend had, and he loved sharing it

my stomach has been hurting lately when i run...but it feels like im going to puke. Im guessing thats because the season just started, and i am still getting used the running in the hottest part of the day. (during summer i ran in the morn/evening)

IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome

google it, because idk enough to actually tell you anything

do you drink water right before you run?

Take 2 tums. It helps to have antacids before, Frank Shorter always did it.

yeah, you could have an empty stomach ur running on, happens to me.
