Stomach Cramps While Running

1. Have you ever gone for a run and got a cramp in your stomach? Well, if so it is nothing really big that you should worry about. The pain usually occurs on the side or bottom of the stomach and is caused due to shallow breathing, not breathing deeply from the lower lungs. Cramps, also know as stitches, can also be caused from what you ate or drank before a workout. If you have a lot of fluids or food in your stomach you are unable to intake large amounts of air which then cause you to get stomach pains. This pains can also happen if your body is low on sodium, potassium, and calcium. So remember, don't eat or drink a lot before a workout, get as much air into your body by taking deep breathes, and make sure your body has enough minerals and vitamins in it.
