I call it the “it just does that sometimes” pain

[larrythewalrus]

I clicked on a video about the pain described in the title and thumbnail, expecting an in depth explanation. Got a top 20 list that I did not ask for.

I was a fat kid like 5 years ago, it was extremely tough at first, but after some time after you've built of resistance, strength, flexibility, cramps were literally non existent for me except for some Achilles tightness on random runs that went away when I stopped running after 2 minutes. That level of shape is insane and you literally feel invincible

Getting this pain when you're in the zone lowkey feels like the universe telling your determination to exercise to shut up

As a wise coach once said “shove down the pain and keep running”

[teamscope]

As a runner, I’ve had side pains/camps a LOT when I started running but after my 2nd month of intense training I basically stopped having them, I have yet to have a cramp for more than 6 months

OH MY GOD IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER TO THIS RANDOM PAIN WHILE RUNNING FOR YEARS AND LEGIT NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND OUT WHY, THANK YOU

On a scale of 1-10, my pain is rated pi, low but never-ending

This happens every time I run long distance. Usually around 2 or 3 miles at a brisk pace. I used to never really go past that distance. Then one day at 25 years old I decided to not just push through the pain but started striding it out like I was running a 400 or 800. Ended up running 8 miles before I stopped, and I was barely breathing hard after. My heart rate was lower than it used to be at 1/3 of the distance. Those endorphins are serious business. Keep pushing.

4:56 My dad was in the Kosovo war of 1999, and he has an injured foot. He said that during that time, during recovery, he was laying next to a 5 year old boy who lost both of his legs. He said the child was always screaming and crying in agonizing pain, so the nurse that was with the people in that room comes every once in a while to massage and move the childs "leg" wich would help him to go back to sleep. After a while he asked the nurse how is that possible, and she said that humans have some receptors in the body even if there are no limbs there and that they can feel it in some way.

I didn't realize this happened to all people, I thought I was just unhealthy.

You can actually get rid of the side stitch while running simply by inhaling when you lift your knee on the opposite side of your body the cramp is occuring while running. It will go away within about 10 paces.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE SIDE STITCH. I’ve never know till now and I’m so happy

[LaylaPatton]

[aparks]

goth person: pain isn’t just a warning sign, it is a lifestyle

[bunsenn]

If you think you’re tough, just know that alligators will sometimes lose entire limbs and just go about their day regularly.

[VLAD-kcsy]
