Running cramps
Our season just began two days ago and ive been getting STOMACH cramps and stitches everytime after we run for a long time and on sprints? Is there anyway of getting rid of these like breathing techniques?

Get in shape!!! You shouldn't have waited until the last minute. Just run, run, and run... Eventually, they will go away.

yeah: always practice with a mouthpiece in. Always.
And: Never go any faster than you can go breathing in your nose and out your mouth. um, yeah, and like he said, run a lot, and work on your obliques if you can, cause they're what's getting cramped. gobluemiddie

No no they are wrong. If you're like most people, when you run, you exhale as your right foot hits the ground. This puts downward pressure on your liver (which lives on your right side), which then tugs at the diaphragm and creates a side stitch. The fix: Exhale as your left foot strikes the ground.

But to prevent cramps definately get in shape. Do a lot of GOOD stretches before and after practice, and also the night after practice. Don't chug anything throughout the day before your practice. I don't know why, but when you chug drinks you tend to be more prone to cramps.

Stretching and hyrdation are the best. I ran track for 4 years in high school and even when I was in peak physical condition I would cramp. Yeah some cramps do develop based upon how in shape you are but I know I'll still cramp up in my glutes and hamstrings when we run intense workouts like 1 on 1 gb drills pr something. Make sure you get a good warm up. I'm not talking about 1 lap around the field but around a full mile, brisk pace. Stretch right after while your muscles are warm even have a team mate help you out (works great for hammys). Be a team player and run with your team, but try and get to practice early.

Drink more water. If your urine isn't clear, you're not drinking enough water. Simple as that. I don't think running a mile every day before practice is neccessary...I personally get by fine with the warm up lap and lots of hydration, haven't had a cramp in months.

Don't eat a lot right before practice. If the bloods trying to digest the food inside you, it can't go through your body when you run. Giving you cramps

Yeah, stomach cramps are caused by lack of hydration or your body is processing food while ur running. Never eat a meal 30 min before pratice. snacks at 30 min. and drink atleast 4 cups of water an hour before pratice and you will be set. Also to prevent them after pratice don't eat a meal for about an hour after pratice.

I used to pinch my top lip - to build lung capacity, my buddy and I would run 2 miles as hard as we could with water in our mouths.

Just take a break and take deep breaths. not much time to train and run if the season has already started. Next year it would be a good idea to condition.
