Session 2: 30 min Tempo Run
Ran on a treadmill today to run “at pace” for the whole 30 min. Barely made 1 mile @ a 9min pace. Both vastus medialis muscles cramped & then my left rectus femoris cramped. Sat down for a bit & then gingerly walked out. They often cramp when I run, no idea why.

Hi Nichole, I have no idea if I’m getting enough magnesium. I use 3-4 Nuun tablets a day in my water & my post work out drink. Magnesium supplement?

Thanks Mike. After seeing your UB sets, I’m wondering if I miss counted a round. T2B broke into 4 sets & OHS broke into 2 sets (except for last round). Either way it was a tough.
