In this episode I share the truth about dealing with cramps during a race. Is it really as simple as hydrating and electrolytes? Of course not yet this is the only advice you typically see for dealing with cramping. Instead I share the research on who is at risk and what you should really be focusing on.

In my research review I talk about the phenomenon of the bilateral strength deficit. I explain what this is and what it has to do with single leg versus double leg exercises in your training.
