does anyone suffer from this. after running about a mile i get a low ache, almost like a dull period pain but its not that time yet. pain persists until i finish running. it has only happened the last two times i've run including this morning while doing cricklade run. i could be mid-cycle, could that be the prob. any ideas girls?

may also be related to gyne problems - adhesions or fibroids or other things might cause some discomfort
some stretches - particiularly yoga type - may help but its probably worth keeping an eye on it and see whether it is related to your cycle
if it worsens go and see your gp of course
And yes, it often comes together with desperate and extremely painful trots, which however are usually over and gone within half an hour, everything out, and then no lingering nausea or evidence of stomach upset.
At my age it is defo not period pains!
Someone suggested it maybe mittelschmertz syndrome - if you find it is particularly bad at mid cycle some women suffer from this when ovuating. I also have endometriosis which I think may aggravate it. Look it up on google.
It is nothing to do with what I eat/drink or don't eat, and it doesn't make you need the loo. I know period type pains when I feel them.
I just avoid doing races at that time of month now, having been ambulanced off a 10k unable to walk let alone run, and then an hour later being fine, and feeling a complete fraud.
I found it very frustrating until I worked out what it was, everyone kept suggesting dietary changes but I knew it was not related.
Hope this is of some help.
