Bad cramps when running. :(?!
Question:
Bad cramps when running. :(?
When I'm running I always get horrible cramps. I can't just stop and walk b/c I'm running with a group. I get like three cramps all in my stomach that make me want to cry just fall down. Is there anyways to prevent getting the cramps before I start to run? And if I do get a cramp, how do I stop the pain? Please help me!!!
Answers:
I used to have the same problem when running, until I learned that cramping while running is often caused by being mildly dehydrated. Once I started to be aware of how much water I was drinking (or not) during the day before a run, I was able to eliminate cramping from running. So the key is to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day so you are not dehydrated when you run.
