A member asked:
I could only run for 2 minutes straight then i get pain on the side of my stomach how do i get rid of it & how do i prevent it?

Stretch: Pain on the side of abdomen with activity is often related to spasm of the diaphragm (muscle that opens your lungs to breath). You can reduce this by staying hydrated, thoroughly stretching before you run, and smooth breathing techniques.
