During a run, cramps or stitches can seriously hamper your performance. If the cramping continues hours after running, however, it can lead to more serious problems. Dehydration does not cause cramping, but cramps can easily lead to dehydration, either through diarrhea or because stomach pain prevents you from drinking enough.
There are, though, a number of theories. For years, people believed that cramps were caused by salt and mineral deficiencies, dehydration, or heat. An increasingly large number of studies, though, have found there to be almost no connection between hydration or mineral intake and exercise-induced cramps.
