What i see here is too much religion on both sides of the issue, but more so on no supplement side. Most of the people that defend salt are like me, telling their stories and offering that advice to those that are crampers that ask the question, as one possible solution. The other side just tells them that it is a placebo affect, HTFU, you are cramping because you are out of shape, or cannot pace well. Which are all valid reasons, just not the only ones.
Mark,
I agree with. I know enough about the science and from my personal experience that I suspect that, there is going to be a range here, and that there will be individuality regarding this. However, I will stick with my thought in the last paragraph of my previous post that amongst many age-group and rec triathletes, the cramping is coming from doing too much, for too long, too soon. Would so many, be having so many problems, if there was a more gradual and rational build-up in training and racing?
