i've been training for cross country for my school and one day ill be able to run like 3 miles with no problem and then the next day i wont even get half a mile before cramping like mad which then i have to stop. like today. i had to quit running and totally sit so i would feel better. i cramp in my sides. both. any ideas on what to do to stop me from cramping. would it help if i didnt eat before i ran?

I run cross country also and I use to get cramps so I found out that you need to drink things like gatorade or water and alot of carbohydrates before running but make sure it is at least an hour before running also strect your sides out and while running get a breathind pattern like the 2-2 pattern it is a pattern where you:
1. choose a foot to take in a breath on
2. breath out and don't take a breath again for 2 steps
3. repeat
hope it helps
