Thats why drinking milk seems to help most people, it contains a mag supplement. I get leg cramps when I swim if I don’t take a magnesium supplement before.

I've learned not to scream tho - freaks out the Hubby. Got one while sleeping in the tent after the K-100 race and it took a supreme effort not to wake up the whole camp of newly acquainted team members. I like to think drinking more milk solves it (I love milk) but sometimes I think I just should have stretched more. I get mid-night calf cramps sometimes.

Aren't degrees so useful?
