cramps when running - help!

[MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1]

I get severe cramps (very similar to period pain) when I'm about ten minutes into a run. I'm only halfway through my menstrual cycle, so it's definitely not my period. But it's blooming uncomfortable and is ruining my running.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know of anything that I can do to mitigate the pain?

You may be dehydrated
Also, running tends to speed up bowel movements for me, especially if I run after coffee

I used to get deep period like cramps and pain while running when I had cysts and endometriosis- I thought it was normal until I had surgery and thankfully never had it since!

Do you have any gyne issues at all? Are you new to running?
