Runninggggggg?!


Question Posted Monday January 15 2007, 9:45 pm

When I'm running I always get cramps. My boyfriend said i drink too much water before but i don't drink any at all. Any explanation? It could be that i don't have enough potassium. I'm not sure though, any suggestions on how to run, breathing? Anything to keep away the cramps? Thankkkyou, I'll rate.

<3

just today my friend jacob told me that you should eat a banana before you run or lift.. to prevent cramps. so there you go, eat a banana before! also, stay hydrated, but not too much. and it helps alot if you stretchhhhhhh. good luckk &hearts;

i had the same problem when i was younger and i asked a friend about it. Basically, when you breathe. Instead of breathing through your mouth, breathe through your nose. In that way, you dont give the cramp enough air to stimulate.

i agree with the too much water thing... drink some but not more than one bottle. I had that problem... then i started doing sit ups before i went out and it worked for me (stretch your abs after you do). hope it works for you! <3

breathe throught your nose and out your mouth.

eat a bananas or fruit on a regular basis, they are amazing for preventing cramps.

stay hydrated, (not to much before you run)

then you should be good

I don't rightly care how you rate me. Rate me what I, or anyone else who gives you advice deserves...

I don't know what is causing the cramps, but I have always heard that drinking V8 is good at helping to keep them at bay.

I don't know that V8 will work for you for certain, but it is worth a shot anyhow. I know my dad swears by it.
