    • I need help, everytime I go for PE lessons, monday and tuesday, I will feel very afraid and I also dunno why..

      I really cannot run fast but my 2.4 timing isn't atrocious enough to be deemed as a failure. Ok maybe to some of you 14 minutes is damn slow, but there's nothing much I can do about it because everytime when I run I will get severe "stiches"..

      Now, can anyone please advise me on what I can do to minimise this "PE lessons pressure"? I feel that it is really affecting my life, and it also affects me psychologically-wise.

    • As lpx88 has said, you could run on your own too. There's no need to bother about timings and speed as of now, but try to complete 3km on your own.

      The stitches occur because your body is unconditioned. You need to slowly condition it before such stitches will stop. You could also include exercises at home. For example, push ups, crunches, burpees, jumping jacks.

      When you can achieve the simple ones, then you can progress to interval training, circuits, etc.

      May I know what your age is?
