Oh, the hydration comments posted previously here are also very, very important. I just take that as a given but some don't!!

Here's what I said previously regarding cramping. It has to do with stomach cramps (the typical kind described as a stich in the side), which was the original question. And it does relate to the diahpragm which is upset by poor breathing. It is a phsyiological thing and didn't require a study.
Three quarts of water each hour for three hours before running is quite a bit...nearly a gallon. You'll pee your eyes out (and a lot of electrolytes) before you start running. 24-32 ounces an hour before is pretty good and you should drink 24 ounces/hour while doing cardio...two ounces every five minutes if possible, although that is tougher when running than other things.
