Muscle cramps are usully caused by dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. When you don't have enough fluid in your system, it leads to an electrolyte imbalance that causes your muscles to cramp up. Electrolytes are minerals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium

I had this problem when I first started. Try running on your heels (i.e. you land on your heels). Helped me a lot! Before that, I just ran through the pain and I guess I just gradually went to heel running heh
