Cos these may be able to help http://www.baronepharmacy.com.au/images/nurofen_period_12.jpg The Bulls have found that those prevent Wynand Olivier from cramping during games.....

The Guy in Pink Posted February 28, 2012 Share All these pills are placebo'sI gotta agree with you here.If there was a product that actually worked then there would only be a few varieties of it on the market. Since nothing works there are thousands of totally different products claiming to do so.Just train more and drink (tap) water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave some Cramp Ease to my mom as she has bad circulation and often gets cramp, it works for her. I've since had to buy her a pack. Some times that placebo effect can work wonders.

walkerr Posted February 28, 2012 Share The only 2 pills which are working for me are the "More Training" and "Work within your limits" pills ... Tried everything, root cause for me has been pushing way harder in races than the level I was training at. Upping my training and being more realistic about the pace I can sustain in a ride has cured the cramps. During the Wellington ride on Saturday I forgot the latter, pushed too hard, and cramped just before Botmasklook. By backing off I managed to recover my legs and do the rest of the ride without a hint of cramping. Have never managed that before. If you are cramping - rule out training and over exertion first. Once you're sure those can't be the cause, then worry about electrolyte balance etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield2010 Posted February 28, 2012 Share I have not ever cramped during cold or rainy races..... so in my opinion it has to do with the heat + dehydration in some way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azi Posted February 28, 2012 Share They used to hand out these chinese sprays at running races. 1 in a white bottle, another in a red bottle. The spray is called - Yunnan Balyao The name is Yunnan Baiyao. Used it at a running race when I cramped - all I could say was WOW! That stuff works. And it has the most interesting story behind it too... http://www.yunnan.co.za/cat2.php?catID=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 28, 2012 Share LMAO at some of the comments, the guy is finishing multi day events but he must train more. Obviously some did not read the article about cramps. The pills replace calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are key in the electrolyte the muscle needs to communicate with the brain.Cramp block works u can try it.I assume the other training tools are in place i.e. stretching, training at the right intensity… etc. Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
