In reply to Steve Perry:
> (In reply to TheDrunkenBakers) A friend of mine (very keen runner) told me a good cure. The stitch he claims is caused by breathing out and the impact of your foot. Eg breath out when right leg hits, you can get a stitch on your right side, therefore just skip a step, i.e breath out on your leg going down opposite to the stitch. It's certainly worked for me.
Crap, most of my concentration is use to stop me falling over curbs or running into cars at junctions.
