The Truth About Muscle Cramps During Marathons: What Really Causes Them?
- The Real Cause: A Neuromuscular Trigger: …Muscle cramps are now thought to be caused by neuromuscular fatigue, or what you might call “hyperengagement” of the muscle…
- Busting the Electrolyte Myth: …Research shows that cramping isn’t directly caused by an electrolyte imbalance…
- Electrolytes Still Matter—Just Not for Cramps: …Replenishing electrolytes is essential for overall hydration and muscle function, but it’s not the magic solution to prevent cramps.
- How to Reduce Your Risk of Cramps: (1) Train Specifically… (2) Strengthen Your Muscles… (3) Listen to Your Body… (4) Stay Hydrated…
- The Bottom Line: …While we still don’t fully understand why some runners are more prone to cramps than others, proper training, strength work, and smart pacing can help minimize the risk.
