Answers:
I run xc too. You are getting "charlie horses". You need more potassium. Maybe take a potassium supplement. You can try eating other things that contain potassium, such as potatoes. I also eat 2 banana yogurts a week. My "charlie horses' have minimized, but I still experience some. I don't think you can actually get rid of them for good. I hope I helped you.

bump up your potassium levels and calcium levels. You could eat a banana at each meal and drink plenty of liquids because if you get dehydrated, that will happen too. Oj, potatoes, yogurt all have good potassium sources and yogurt is a calcium source as well.Health Question & Answer
Problems are often caused by overactivity or the rapid growth of bone and muscle that occurs in children.
