The Original Mountain Marathon
A two day adventure race taken place over very tough mountainous and boggy terrain in Scotland in a cold, wet and windy October.
After the first day of running nearly 6 and half hours, I didn’t once have cramp which I am usually susceptible to but my team mate did. During the over night camp I treated my spine from the neck down to the sacrum, my team mate treated the points where he had cramp and his sacrum. The next morning my body felt like it had endured something the previous day but felt good and lasted another 4 and half hours back to the finish with plenty left over. My team mates legs knew they had cramp the previous day but didn’t cramp up at all on the second day.
