viciousxpunk answered Tuesday August 21 2007, 6:42 pm: i am on the volleyball team and i only have to run a quarter mile, because my coach says we are running for short term stamina, not long distance. (which makes sense since there isnt any long distance running in volleyball) there isnt much you can do to prevent cramps, just dont drink a whole lot of water before you run or you will definitely get them. there isnt anything you can do to make the running easier for you, since you are running it tommorow, but i would suggest starting off at a steady even pace, and then pushing yourself for the last bit and getting as much speed as possible. if you start off really fast and push yoursel too hard, it will be difficult to make it all the way through. good luck.
