Hello all. I have been a track and field runner for two years now (started junior year of HS, and am running this coming freshman year), however I've been running pretty much my whole life. I'm above average (though not spectacular) at distance (4:33 mile, 2:01 800 meter)...
However, one problem that has always plagued me is violent stomach pains on days that I do long distance training. Any time I run over 5 miles, as soon as I stop they come in waves and seem to last for hours. I've dealt with them since I've gotten seriously into running, but they are not going away. My coach tells me to watch my diet before runs, but that's not the problem, I've tried running on an empty stomach and with a light snack about an hour before. I think it's simply something genetic and I'm just gonna have to get used to it.
Seems like a little bit like a wall of text, but I was just curious if anyone else (fighters, runners, anyone who trains) had this problem....
