Answers:    The cramps you described are related to many things, including how you eat and breathe.

Firstly, you stipulation to stretch before and after you run. It's not wise to basically rush into running. Build up to it, take a brisk walk beforehand and bearing for a few minutes afterwards.

Make sure you hydrate, with water, not soda. Water is the best passageway to hydrate. If your run is long, consider hydrating while you run as well. Be sure to drink regularly, and not just when you get hold of thirsty. Try drinking before you get thirsty.

Bananas are a dutiful source of potassium, which are known to prevent running cramps.

The cause of the cramps are deficit of oxygen to those muscles, so make sure to take vast breaths while you run.

Some simple ways to prevent it beforehand:

1) Don't eat two or less hours until that time hand. Food in the stomach have been shown to increase the chances of the side stitch (running cramp)

2) Stretch your arm and abdominal muscles for at tiniest 30 seconds each after warm up (walking for a few minutes)

3) Have even, deep breaths while you run. If you can, try exhaling while your left foot hits the ground (known to help).

4) Train to build your muscle's fortitude. Since you have a week, try running or jogging for a few minutes respectively day, practicing these techniques. It should comfort greatly. Your body will be more used to running and being pain free.

5) Drink lots of hose!

If you try all of these and the pain still pursues or get worse, I would suggest seeing a doctor for more help..
