It did do a pretty good job, but I did resemble one of the members of the Villlage People who had become stuck mid-way through YMCA. I have an active imagination.

I'm soooo not a runner, but I remember once (in primary school) I was told if you run with you arms above your head it will make the stitch go. I have only ever been in one run, and I got a stitch in the middle of it. Although it made me feel lick a complete <b>idiot</b> I tried the running with arms up thing and it worked! Give it a try, it's more portable than Vegemite! Hi-e. I’m soooo not a runner, but I remember once (in primary school) I was told if you run with you arms above your head it will make the stitch go.

Everybody seems to have a different theory, and most of these theories contradict each other. I don't think my problem is that I drink too much water though. I drink my usual 2-3L during the day, but don't take any with me when I run. <b>Ralf:</b> I suspect it's the depth of my breathing that is the problem, not the rate. When I'm feeling asthmatic my breathing tends to be more shallow, and I think that's why my diaphragm complains. Honestly though, there are other muscles in my body with more right to complain! <b>Trish:</b> Can't you just picture me running down Bridge Rd with a jar of Vegemite and a spoon? I can! Actually, in case there's any merit in the salt theory I might try some Vegemite half an hour before my next run. But only because it's the most Aussie remedy I've heard so far. Thanks for your comments, everyone!

It's gross but suck on 1 spoonful of Vegemite and the cramp will vanish in no time. I literally lived with a jar of Vegemite and a spoon next to my bed for the last 5 months of pregnancy. It's gross but it works (and now it comes in those little individual serves - perfect for the pocket!) Much Love. Vegemite.

I dunno if there is some sort of breathing technique out there to try (something like Alexander for breathing?) But perhaps google could be your friend?
