My kids complain about them A LOT; sometimes I believe them, sometimes I don't (how could you get a side stitch after 15 seconds of movement??? and I see them run all over the place and never complain, but the second it's time to run with mom.....) but maybe I'm just mean............
Anyways, my one kid complains about them on nearly ever run, and I wonder if it's a form issue? Myself, I've never gotten more than one or two weird twinges in my side when I've started running, but this was years ago in cushy shoes and who knows what form.
Or is it just due to being out of shape in general?
A form/posture issue?
Who among us gets these, when, where and how do you relieve them?
Or what?
I've gotten my kids to run bf in the past, but with the cold they are running in their spanking new merrells and nb minimus kids (yeah, I sprang for them, but they wouldn't wear water shoes any more for lack of fashionability, ,etc.). My son sometimes runs in his soft stars, but seems to be able to keep a nice looking form for running no matter what is on his feet. My daughter, it's a toss up how her form is on a given day.\\\
Edited to show: Okay, so if I believe the new york times, and articles therein, posture is the culprit. Makes sense, since it's my daughter who has the worse posture and suffers far more from side stitches than my son. My next question is then how to get a child to have better posture????
