This doesn’t work. Cramps are from your splean iirc moving around more than it does in other people.
I’ve run many, many, many races, from 5k to marathons, to triathlons, obstacle courses, relay races, ect – and never have I once thought about breathing to avoid cramps. The only time I get cramps is when I am dehydrated. Cramps are not normal and a sign that your body is not in the condition you’re trying to force it to perform in.
If you drank too much water and you have a stomach cramp, just wait 10 minutes for the water to process and then keep moving. If you’re running a race you done fucked up and if you’re not, there’s no reason to push through a stomach cramp, and no dumb left foot right foot nonsense is going to alleviate it.

How’d you get the emoji to show in your username
I once heard that cramps are from lactic acid and oxygen helps the lactic acid breaks down faster so breathing in time with your running helps stop lactic acid build up… I guess I’m wrong?
Yeah I suppose if your VO2 max is low enough that might have an effect. It’s possible that my breathing is naturally in rhythm to my running. I do keep a rock solid cadence.
