I have run long distance for quite a few years and my advice would be to really slow down on your runs. I found that this was the only thing that helped my stitch…it is very hard to run slower when you are fit enough to go faster (or if you run with your man :) But, run slow, then go slower than even that, and work your way up. I hope that helps.

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you! I have been doing that since Jan so it’s annoying that it’s just started now 🥹 xx

[@naomiclairefit]

The chocolate buttons followed by a nap is so real 😅🌟

[@Ellena_fit]

Hahaha I just love them 😩😍

[@georginaturner3707]

I used to always get a stitch as well then I started having electrolytes in the morning and that helped massively. Might be worth a try. Keep it up though you're doing amazing ☺️

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you I’ve been doing that! But still not much luck xx

[@WhisperingMeadowss]

10:30 lmaoooo😂💞This was so cute! Your accent, the statement & picturing the dog doing that.

[@Ellena_fit]

Haha 😂 thanks lovely xxx

[@ThuvarakaMahenthiran404]

You need to try high protein pumpkin spice latte for autumn season and I hope you love this cozy drink. Loved this video Ellie ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HannaGierzynskaZalewska]

Go to the good running store and try different shoes, a good store should give you the possibility to run at least few meters on the treadmill or in store. That’s the best way to try your next pair

[@Ellena_fit]

Yeah I think this is a good idea!! As you never really know until you’ve run in them do you!

[@GabbyPeterson17]

Hi! I only get stitches running when I am going too fast. It’s a huge indicator I’m moving too quick. Hope this helps!

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you, yeah lots have said this! It’s so frustrating though as I’m trying to run abit faster 😔😔

[@GabbyPeterson17]

@@Ellena_fit it’ll come with time! The best running tip I’ve ever gotten is to take your ego out of it, running slower more often has made the biggest impact on my distance and speed.

[@wholesomewithmarie]

hello Ellie ! so niiice that you are running ! I run a lot (marathons, half iron mans...) ! carbon plated shoes are ok for racing day and if you are looking to run a marathon in 3h or less ! it does not change anything for runners like us except it is very bad for your leg and feet.. be careful !

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you I really appreciate that, lots have said this xx

[@hannahc6265]

I have the Saucony Speeds and love them for tempo runs! Alphaflys are really designed as a race day shoe, for me there’s something cringe about running around the town in them unless you’re absolutely rapid I can’t face it 😂. Also you look insane ❤

[@Ellena_fit]

Hahaha yes I agree 😂😂 thank you!!

[@Ratsfrom42]

When I get a stitch in running I always know it’s because I didn’t properly hydrate enough in advance. So running in the morning is a no go for me cuz I can’t drink a lot right after waking up.

[@Ellena_fit]

Yes lots have said this! Also breathing

[@LaurenColeman-s3f]

I got the glass meal prep boxes too😊! Do you put the lids and silicone seals in the dishwasher? Loved this video ❤

[@Ellena_fit]

They’re so good!! And yes I do xx

[@melissakelly8104]

I’ve heard a few people talk about how the alphaflys hurt their Achilles, I would stick with sauconys !

[@amberchloeviolet]

I think have a go at slowing down and if anything eat more. So like a bagel or half a bagel with a small amount of butter 45 mins before a run x

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you!

[@emilygreen9806]

I used to get stitches all the time when I ran. I would recommend that you do still eat something reasonable before your runs (1.5-2hours before) you may be ok without eating for shorter runs but I don’t like not eating. I was also recommend that you don’t skip out on hydration - just water but also electrolytes. You can get stitches when you are not hydrated enough. So a glass of water before you leave shouldn’t make give you a stitch x

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you, yeah I’ve been doing both of those but still get them 😔

[@orang1414]

Hey Ellie, would you be happy in sharing any advice as to how to approach a reverse diet if you’ve been dieting for years and you don’t know what your maintenance calories would be? And what kind of macros would you suggest following? X

[@orang1414]

Forgot to mention, when you plan your meals do you always make sure to have roughly the same amount grams of carbs as you would protein? X

[@Ellena_fit]

Hey lovely!! You won’t have been dieting for years consistently (they’d be nothing left 😅). You can work out your maintenance calories by multiplying your weight in lbs x 13-15. This will give you a good range xx

[@Ellena_fit]

Macro wise always go for 1g protein per lbs of bodyweight then hit the rest of your calories with carbs & fats 💗🤍

[@sarahdicesare1653]

Saucony speed 3 are great for tempo and training runs the ones you mentioned are racing shoes so i wouldnt spend the money xx

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you that’s really useful. I’m not really doing any races tbh 😂😅

[@sarahdicesare1653]

@@Ellena_fit not yet haha you will probs get the bug. Parkruns are a great way to start as its so social and you can try and beat your 5k time each week. Great speed training too xx

[@ciaracw]

I say this with all kindness, I’m a physio, you really only need a carbon plated shoe if you are a higher level runner and plan on doing races …. They are really only a short term shoe - they don’t last long, and only help the body for super speedy runs or races. They can cause a lot of foot and calf problems if used too frequently 💖 I would suggest ASICS superblast, hoka mach 6 or new balance fuel cell! They are responsive without the carbon plate. The stitch is likely coming from under hydration or breathing, try breathing in through nose and out through mouth xx

[@Ellena_fit]

Nooo I completely love your honesty & I have also heard this which is why I asked 🤍 they also don’t last long. I’ll have a look at those thank you!!

[@simonecarkeek7]

Great video!. Being a runner as well i also think carbon plated shoes are overrated for just general speed/interval runs. Great for races but not an everyday speed shoe. I have the Asic Superblast for these runs. Not sure if it may help but as I generally run between 4am - 5am i dont always have time to eat much before i run as it gives me stitches but i do have a good quality sports hydration drink that has combination of electrolytes & carbs so im hydrating and getting fuel at the same time. Might be worth a try 😉. Good luck

[@Ellena_fit]

thats really interesting thank you, a lot of people have said this!!

[@juliewilkinson3529]

If I eat before my run I get a stitch. I always run fasted then eat when I get back x

[@Ellena_fit]

reallly! I just feel like I need to eat 🥹🥹

With how many calories can i start a reverse diet? 😢 i exercice 6x per week and fast the more time of the week, but i dont know how much Calories i eat..... maintanance calories, i dont know. 160cm and 61 kg of weight

[@sherriwheeler9771]

Hi Ellie can I ask - I need to lose 40 pounds ! Help where do I start . Can you share the app or how you do macros ?

Ellie u look amazing abs goals 💪💪💪💗💚💜❤️

[@omccann0991]

Ohh where are the blue and yellow shorts from?

[@Ellena_fit]

Free people movement! Xx

[@juliergfit]

You may be going too fast too soon on your runs, I used to have the same problem, especially when you are a beginner you need to slow it down for your first few kilometers and eventually you will smash it girl 😊

[@Ellena_fit]

Thank you so much, I think this is really it! I tried a slow run the other day and it was much better xxx

[@juliergfit]

@Ellena_fit amazing!!! It doesn't matter how fast you are just as long as you take your time, find your sweet spot pace and carry on with your tempo runs you've got this! You'll be signing up for races in no time!! 🩷

[@juliergfit]

@Ellena_fit I've made a few videos about my half marathon and it has been one of the most life changing things I've trained for so keep going x 🙌

Don’t eat b4 the run! That’s why you have a stitch

Where is your blue sports bra from please?

[@bbbproductions7059]

It sounds like your going too fast. You should do speed intervals instead of straight high speed long runs to increase your capacity.

[@Ellena_fit]

I’ve been doing that 🥹 but it also happens when I go slow too 😔

[@bbbproductions7059]

@@Ellena_fit oh no 😖

[@maldivesmaledivy8131]

Hello Ellie 😊 I wanted to ask about your change of weight. I think that we are the same high (173 cm). Whenever my weight drops under 63 kg I lose my period. Do you have the same problem? Did you lose all the way up to 60 kg and you are still having your period? More than that, thank you for your content 😊❤

[@Ellena_fit]

Hey, no as I don’t drop my cals too low. I keep them as high as possible & also try not to get too stressed as that can affect things xx

[@marcopaolimarin3525]

Girl your body is way fitter Than months ago Love it!

[@Ellena_fit]

Ah thank you!!!

[@wwnnn16]

Do you think maybe you’re low on electrolytes? That may be why you’re stiffing out.

[@wwnnn16]

Oh, never mind. I see that you do drink electrolytes.

Noo I have them everyday 😭
