Lately after about 5 minutes or so of constant running (middi) I start getting a cramp. Is there any way to prevent this and once I get it whats the best way to get rid of it. I know the simple answer is practice running or whatever but I just dont have the determinaion to do that. Im gonna start but is there a way to just prevent it for a little while longer.

Is it true that if you drink gatorade or powerade BEFORE you go out it gives you cramps. Because thats what so0meone told me, because I always drink alot of gatprade Before I go out. Thanks
