to get the lowdown on stretching out cramps and what we can do to minimize their impact on our runs.
But as it turns out, she explained most of the cramping people experience during running can't really be"stretched out" — with the exception of a, breathing, and pressing into it. But other leg and body cramps? Not so simple. "Cramps in feet, calves, and hamstrings are usually a result of dehydration, or electrolyte imbalance, or muscle fatigue," said Wasserman. What's more, she added that while the muscles are actually cramping, it might be counterproductive to try to force them into a stretch.Although your best bet during a mid-run cramp is to simply rest, hydrate, and catch your breath, there are a few things you can do before your run to help minimize cramping.
But that's not all Wasserman said runners can do. She shared four post-run stretches to ease tightness and target the four major areas where runners see cramps.Begin by standing tall, breathing deeply and slowly. Interlace your hands overhead and lean away from the affected side. For more stubborn cramps, use two fingers from the opposite hand to apply pressure to the side stitch as you continue leaning away. Hold for 15 seconds or until the area releases.
