Got some questions....
1.) I just started running and every time I go, I always end up with a stomach cramp and it always happens somewhat fast. I always go after dinner and wait about a half hour to 45 min. And I'll grab a gulp of something right before as well. Is it just bad to run after dinner?
2.) I also notice my joints crack a lot. I should say "tick" a lot lol. Usually during and after the run are when it happens more frequent, but generally all the time. Mornings are also quite loud lol. I currently don't take any vitamins as I am weary of them causing more harm then good. I've heard mixed things about taking supplements so I've strayed away, but if there are natural ones I'm down to try em'. Any ideas?
3.) I am also looking into possibly altering my diet to one that would benefit a runner in specific. Hoping that it will help with endurance, recovery, and the stomach cramps during my runs. Any ideas?
4.) My knee still kind of bothers me during my run. Not sure if its my form or what, but it kinda annoys me. I'm wondering if I should wear a brace to help correct any funky knee motions? Any of you guys use a brace, or does it get in the way of learning good form?
Thanks for all your help in advance,
