I got the following excerpt from http://www.trails.com/running-cramps.html\n\n"Tips on how to avoid running cramps.\nHate it when you get cramps while running? You aren't the only one. Running cramps affect everyone, including runners that are in shape. Following these tips will help you avoid running cramps.\n\nCramps are related to many things, including what you eat and how you breathe. But the most important thing to do is stretch before and after every run. So make sure you incorporate a good stretch routine if you want to avoid cramps while running.\n\nYour diet can also help you avoid running cramps. Make sure you hydrate before any run. During your run, stay hydrated by drinking at regular intervals. Always make sure to drink before you get thirsty. If you feel thirsty, it's already too late. And make sure to drink water or sports drinks. Soda isn't a good substitute. Bananas are a good source of potassium, which help to prevent running cramps.\n\nWhen you run, make sure you are bringing enough oxygen into your system. The best way to do this is to take full breaths. That means completely exhaling to allow for a new, full breath.\n\nTry to run within your ability. If you want to run longer distances, follow a training program that will allow your muscles to build up to handle those distances without excessive fatigue.\n\nCramps usually go away on their own, but if your cramp won't go away, try these techniques:\n\n    * Stop running or slow down your running pace\n    * Massage the muscle that is cramping\n    * Stretch the muscle and hold the stretch until the cramp goes away\n    * Apply heat to the muscle that cramped \n\nThe most common causes of running cramps include lack of stretching and muscle fatigue. High temperatures, dehydration and loss of salts and electrolytes also contribute to running cramps. Your age also impacts your risk of cramps."\n\nFor endurane training visit http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/endurance-training.html

The first thing is to have enough stamina to sustain an even pace during the run and not run yourself out of steam.\n\nOnce you have the requisite stamina then you should concentrate on the posture and the knee movement, you can watch any recording of a sprint and see how the sprinters run with an upright posture, use their arms well and pump the knees high enough.\n\nOnce the technique is finalized then you should go for strength training which would shave off a few seconds from your timings.

Start off fast...always stay with the pack...find your energy shot (the part of the race in the last 200 to 100 meter where you get the last brust of enery to sprint) you have it just to pass the last girl or two. Look for it and once you find that blast it will be the best and you will lower your time.

Menshealth.com. They have a position master where you can select difficulty of position, stimulation, primary thruster etc. It's good times.

They sell a parachute for sprinters to help them run faster. The NFL uses them. You can get them at EASTBAY I believe. it will strengthen your legs and increase your times (err...decrese your times, you know what i mean). They work well. Do not forget to do leg exercises

If any site would have this, I would think the Army Corps of Engineers ERDC Cold Regions Research Lab website, listed below, would have this. It's got to be there somewhere!\n\nGood Luck!

Lots of sprints. I would suggest getting a wait vest if you can find one. Also try to get a runners parachute. I had a couple friends who used to use them, and it helped their speed dramatically (4.3-4.4 range in the 40). If you've never seen one, its a small parachute connected to a harness that you wear. As you run, the parachute extends out behind you and causes heavy wind drag, causing you to have to fight harder to run.
