i was just looking up this question myself. i have found many helpful answers. some recurring answers have been related to breathing, stretching and hydration. here are some ideas for you. breathing: breathe in your nose and out your mouth. try "belly breathing" also known as "deep breathing". imagine sending oxygen to the cramp to release it. that is more of a mental way though. Stretching: stretch your legs and sides. link your hands and extend them over your head. then lean slightly to one side and hold for 30+ sec. repeat on the other side. Hydration: don't run on a full stomach. don't run a stomach full of water. if you must drink while running then sip the water, DON'T CHUG IT! the cramps that you are getting while running are also called "side stitches" and can be caused by ligaments connecting the liver to the diaphragm. when breathing deeper, as suggested above, you allow the diaphragm to go low enough to relieve stress in those ligaments. one more way to help is to gradually go into a run so that you don't immediately shock your body with all the movement and bouncing caused by running. start at a walk then power walk then jog then run. hope this helps

∙ 13y agoIt has something to do with lactic acid and your livers ability to secrete something that counter acts the acid, which causes pains and cramps.... or something. What I am sure of however, is the more you run, the less likely you are to get cramps! so keep running!

∙ 13y agoIt's maybe your sprinting too fast,if you overwork yourself and start to think its a competition and start sprinting almost as fast as a zebra,you'll start to get those side cramps,i recommend making a scedual.Like the things below that i recommend.
Monday:Jog around the block
Tuesday:Push-Ups
Wednesday:Sit-Ups
Thursday:Run around the block
Friday:Push-Ups with claps(when you push up get enough gravity to do a clap)
Saturday:Sprint around the block(remember,if you sprint too fast,side cramps)
Sunday:Squads(might increase your agility to run faster and not get tired)

∙ 13y agoI don't know how, but to prevent it, stretch before you run. This helps. I myself don't get a lot of cramps when I run, but I've seen people who do.

∙ 13y agoPeople dont ger cramps from runing or walking but if they sit at one position continously they get less circulation of blood , so walking and running is good.

Why do you have stomache pain or side whei run?
When I asked a physician that and she told me that it can be do to ingestion of food prior to running. So she recommended to not eat anything for at least 2 hours before I run. But I am sure that there can be other causes for this pain (muscle cramps etc.). I personally do a moderate abs work out before I run and it usually help to prevent any cramps in that region.
