I started running again.

Or should I say cramping?

haha...I know the feeling (literally).

Don't forget to stretch!

On a related note, I run around 3 miles 4 times a week and for the life of me, I cannot avoid terrible side cramps on my right side. I've upped my potassium, drink tons of water, "belly breathe" and other techniques but I still get the cramping. My legs tend to hold up longer than my side pain actually. Starting to irritate the hell out of me.

 

[vi edit]

Cramping ususally related to being dehydrated.

Drink more water.

I've been doing HIIT for 15 minute sessions 2-3 times a week for the past 3 weeks or so ... talk about tough running. That HIIT stuff is so much more freaking harder than it sounds.

I suggest riding your bike

Massively lower 'impact', for a far higher scenery turnover = win :beer:

Bananas, water, milk, etc should all help with cramping. Get more fluids and electrolytes in you.

Of course, the BEST thing to do is stretch extensively before running.

I start the Couch to 5K program on Sunday. Pray for me and my archless feet.

Hehe. What interval lengths and recovery periods are you doing?

LOL.

When I run, my thighs start to itch like mad. Needless to say, I don't run anymore.
