  Mazlyn Mustapha Thanks Nitahain. I think I missed an article posted by Jefri Mohamed-Muslim (or was it someone else; not sure) on cramps and what to do about them or prevent them. Hope you have something similar, or Jefri or Aizal Che Hamzah can repost?

  Mazlyn Mustapha Thanks Jefri. The bitter truth, or in this case shall I say, sour...gross and yuck, I will get them ASAP. Thanks. I don't even eat pickles, I would normally purposefully remove them from the burger before even biting. But if they work, hey, pickle just it is. During the cramps, the physiology of muscle and nerves flashed through my mind but nothing helped. All I could do was talk to my legs and I kept telling them "walk it off! walk it off!' in a 'big girls don't cry' way :D

  Jefri Mohamed-Muslim Not quite sure whether it is true or just a joke Mazlyn Mustapha. Let me know if it works for you. Maybe I'll consider it, it ever I decide to run a marathon again
  
  For me, I think I had cramps due to lack of training. Never had it for any other distances. Maybe more seasoned Nitahain can advice.

  Amirul Solihin Salim dr..kalo nak tahu lebih lanjut untuk tips pemakanan boleh tanya coach Din Sofia..insyallah coach akan jawab...sebab setahu saya yang coach pesan supaya kurangkan makan pedas, cili...ais ( including aiskrim..hehe) dan makanan berminyak..terutama sekali seminggu sebelum event yang nak disertai...kurangkan fast food ( Kepsi, Mc'd )..

  Jefri Mohamed-Muslim Now I know having beryani kambing the night before my first marathon wasn't the best thing to do
