I get cramps in my ribs when I run a long time how can I prevent that?

Question

while im running

Answer 1

i have this too. Control your breathing. I sould suspect after you are running awhile your breathing and out of your mouth. I alternate in my nose, out my mouth and visa versa. I also count for about 4 or 5 seconds. 4 seconds breathing in my nose, 4 seconds breathing out my mouth.  

Answer 2

My soccer coach told me about a trick that REALLY has helped for me. While you're running don't breathe in through your mouth. Inhale through your nose and then exhale through your mouth. Sounds strange but I don't get cramps anymore.

Answer 3

drink glucose added to water or honey added to water it gives u instant energy and ur cramps will disappear eventually.

Answer 4

drink water

Answer 5

Haha lung cancer

Yes as one of the others said, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

The cramps you are feeling are a build up of latic acids within your muscles, latic acid is easially destroyed by oxygen so it is vitally important you breath properly. I have no idea why breathing in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth stops the build up of acid, but it does.
