You could also run for quick bursts then walk for a few minutes, then run again. My old school gym class did that :]
Or if you just really can't run the problem might be that you're not fit enough to run for any real length of time, and in that case you just need to walk to gain strength first. [ spookykiwi's advice column | Ask spookykiwi A Question ]
DoesHeCare answered Sunday November 4 2007, 6:47 pm: first of all warm up.
second of all drink a lot of water right before you start running.
and practice, practice, practice.
the more you run [within reason] the more time it takes for you to start hurting. [but i can't remember if that's for fatigue or cramps.]
but afterwards cool down, rest, and if you have a charlie's horse - use a heating pad on the area. [ DoesHeCare's advice column | Ask DoesHeCare A Question ]
