Running and cramps?!


Question: Running and cramps!?
I trained for three months to get into shape!. I was running 3+ miles each day without stopping, at a pretty good time!. Now i missed a week and i can run about a mile before i get a huge cramp where i can't go on!. It's only been a week so i don't get out of breath easily or tired at all, it's just the cramps that stop me!. Is there any way to avoid them!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Make sure you are eating enough foods with potassium in them!. Bananas in particular are high in those sort of nutrients!. About an hour or so before your run, make sure you have a bottle of water and a snack so that you have energy before you go!. The best thing to have is something between 100 and 200 calories, with a decent amount of protein and carbohydrates in it!. This should help you with the cramps!. Also, make sure that you are stretching and warming up/down properly before and after your run!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Running cramps affect everyone, including runners that are in shape!. Following these tips will help you avoid running cramps!.

Cramps are related to many things, including what you eat and how you breathe!. But the most important thing to do is stretch before and after every run!. So make sure you incorporate a good stretch routine if you want to avoid cramps while running!.

Your diet can also help you avoid running cramps!. Make sure you hydrate before any run!. During your run, stay hydrated by drinking at regular intervals!. Always make sure to drink before you get thirsty!. If you feel thirsty, it's already too late!. And make sure to drink water or sports drinks!. Soda isn't a good substitute!. Bananas are a good source of potassium, which help to prevent running cramps!.

When you run, make sure you are bringing enough oxygen into your system!. The best way to do this is to take full breaths!. That means completely exhaling to allow for a new, full breath!.

Try to run within your ability!. If you want to run longer distances, follow a training program that will allow your muscles to build up to handle those distances without excessive fatigue!.

Cramps usually go away on their own, but if your cramp won't go away, try these techniques:

* Stop running or slow down your running pace
* Massage the muscle that is cramping
* Stretch the muscle and hold the stretch until the cramp goes away
* Apply heat to the muscle that cramped

The most common causes of running cramps include lack of stretching and muscle fatigue!. High temperatures, dehydration and loss of salts and electrolytes also contribute to running cramps!. Your age also impacts your risk of crampsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hi,

I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it!. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it's acai berries and 100% natural)!. The results were excellent!. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months!. That's why I recommend you check this product at

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
