Answer 8

Eat some spaghetti around an hour before your run. Anything with carbohydrates is gonna help you. Drink lots of water too. Pre-hydration is the key to a good run.

About the cramping, it's gonna happen eventually. The best you can do is soak in the tub after you run.

Congratz with you making the team!
