    Theres massage & massage depends who you se. does your therapist use STR soft tissue release, remedial work may be needed in specific areas to detect any areas that may need more attention

    How much does that cost

    Get fitter and take good mix of fluids n salts etc.

    (I was starting to cramp at Noonstone but its cos i'm nowhere near race fit)

    For a good therapist £35 - £40 per hour or 75mins you need some one that has good knowlege of soft tissue manipulation & that comes reccomended

    Nuun tablets are a bit cheaper than this. So it might be worth trying them first. Also, you can take them with you in a race - unlike a masseur/masseuse.

    I used to succumb to cramp quite badly in my calf muscle, then I tried running wearing Skins compression socks which helped, and I've also started drinking a pint of water with a Nuun tablet in it before any race - not suffered since then, not even in Sunday's boiling hot Brighton Marathon )
