I drank a little bit of water before running, and for 4 miles I got side stitch and felt very bloated (I could feel and hear air in my stomach with every step.)
What I want to do is drink enough water before running to keep hydrated and prevent side stitch. How much and when should I drink water before running, and long enough for it all to be digested, so it doesn't splash around and make me bloated? (And since I run 7 miles, should I drink water halfway through, or do I not need it?)

1 hr and a half thats wat my fitness teacher told me so you could get it out of your system by using the bathroom BEFORE you run . and its keeps you hydrated in time for you running and it give you enough energy and even prevents side stitch. and if you drink water while your running stop for about 3 minutes to let it subside.
