New solution for calves cramping in 1/2 marathon (Read 47 times)

Today I ran a half taking salt stick caps (http://saltstick.com/saltstick-and-running/) during a half and had NO cramps at all in calves and was not sick either. In past I had usually started cramping in calves at around mile 12 or so. I took 1 before the race then 2 others later on at different times. Those electrolytes seemed to help a lot.
