Period pains and running?

Former Member

I've started running quite a bit recently; need to get in shape for the summer!

I've done about 6 sessions, and although I'm not due on for another two weeks, for the past three sessions I've started getting excruciating period cramps about two minutes after I stop running. Anyone have any ideas of why and/or what I could do to stop it?

i used to get this! i thought i was damaging my ovaries or something by running! but don't worry its just a stitch -i have been reliably informed you can get them there.

make sure you warm up and don't eat right before you go running.
