Steps

1. Learning how to manage your running routine and avoid cramps is a testament to good habits. Running is a great way to exercise and cardio. Running with the onset of a stomach cramp is a buzz kill. Good management tell us to avoid eating and heavy amounts of liquids before running.
2. Allow yourself a good hour to an hour and a half after eating or drinking before running. This will allow time for your stomach to settle and digest a fair amount of what you have eaten. If, while running, you feel the need to hydrate, do so slowly and in increments. Small sips over time will keep you hydrated and not susceptible to a cramp.
3. Never eat while running or gulp liquids. Gulping lets air into the stomach, which could also create cramps. Take it slow and be smart and you will avoid stomach cramps while running.
