Runner's problem with mounted frame (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stitch up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'frame' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'runner's problem with mounted' is the wordplay.
'runner's problem' becomes 'stitch' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mounted' becomes 'up' (up on a horse).
'stitch'+'up'='STITCH-UP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stitch up that I've seen before include "Incriminate by unfair means" , "frame" , "Fix rent" , "Falsely incriminate" , "Swindle - incriminate - repair" .)
