what causes ppl to get a stitch in their side when running? i was running yesterday and for the first time i got one. i was only about 3/4 of my way through the first mile and it happened. i was always told to keep running and it will go away so i ran 3 miles and i couldn't breath and i started getting one on the other side too. now i am sore where i had the stitches. its wierd. is it hydration? nutrition? both? i don't want to have it happen again so any advice would be great.
