Answer
Hi Sue
Running puts a lot of stress on the abs,and if hers are a little weak this could be a factor along with a pace that the body can't handle internally.It appears to me that the things that she is experiencing is problems associated with somebodys body is just out of shape and she might be pushing to hard to early.Tell her to just run extremely easy and don't push the pace,talking pace and start with strengthening abs and see how that works for her and then get back to me the results.Any other questions just get in touch.Ireally don' think it is anything serious to worry about.


All the best.
