g.bow Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi All I am just starting out on this journey and was looking for some help. I am a fairly rotund guy (FAT), but really want to lose weight and gain endurance. I have a 11yo son who I really want to be able to go out and jog with. I am only on week 1 but finding that my legs are really starting to cramp on about run 5 of 8, will this start to go the more I run or is there something I can do to help with the cramp? Any advice is greatfully appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanneCanada Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hey! I am afraid I don't have much to offer regarding the cramping - other than making sure that you are well hydrated and perhaps, eat a few bananas. But I really wanted to congratulate you on getting started. You'll be doing a 5K with your boy in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomas1967 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I add ginger to my 8 oz water along with lemons to help with legs cramp. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
