My stomach hurts when I'm running really fast for long distance?
Every time i run a meet for the 2 mile at race pace my stomach feels like it is on fire about 2/3 of the way through and i dont know why. does anyone know if thats natural and if so how do u stop it?
Answers:
If you feel strong pain in your stomach after only two miles into your running, it is most likely that you have naturally weaker stomach muscles that are having difficulty handling the movement of your intestines. Doing abdominal exercises like situps or crunches will help you build them up so that your pain is reduced. Also, you should try to eat and drink well before your runs so that there is not too much loose food in your stomach that will bounce around and cause you pain.
If applying these suggestions does not alleviate your problem over time, then we may be dealing with something more serious, and you should contact a doctor to get checked out.
Good luck.

It just...happens. Try drinking eletrolites a bit before your race so you have them in your body.Youve gotta be careful. evidently this is a problem and you need to get it checked. Please dont let it go. The fact that itfeels like its on fire is because its trying to tell you something. bettyk
Yeah that is normal. It is part of competitive running.

I would make sure not to eat anything about 2 1/2 hours before you run. That might be part of the reason. Its also to be well hydrated, but not too much! It might hurt because you are pushing yourelf and going fast!Is there a limit just how fast a can human run a mile?
make sure that you arent eating any foods the day of your race or even the night before that could upset your stomach or make it burn such as peppers of any sort or spicy foods..also make sure you warm up before you race very good and even though my stomach doesnt hurt i eat a tum or antacid before EVERY raceMore Questions & Answers...
