Just back from doing stamina podcast and 1/2 way through stomach really started to ache --almost like someone punched me or I had done loads sit ups Pain gone when I stopped Never felt it before Does running tone up tummy area

Not sure but recently my stomach has ached, also not for long but noticeable nonetheless. I think you must use some stomach muscles when jogging/running. No bad thing in my case!

Does it ache every time you run now ?I agree with you it's a welcome added bonus My tummy could do with all the help it can get!

No, not every time but I think as I progress it aches from time to time, probably as my body is changing. Various muscles and joints have ached along the way. I try to ignore them up to a point and if particularly sore have an extra day off. Hope things improve anyway.

You will use your core muscles when your running and this is a good thing because they help keep your running form so you don't slouch or hunch over.........so shows you are working well, happy running
