Dealing with Leg Cramps

I suspect this has been discussed before. How does one avoid hamstring and quadriceps muscle leg cramps during workouts? I get them about 2200 yds into it. Once they resolve I start in again but then I have to switch to pull only. And that's ok for another few 100 but as soon as I push of the wall they set in again. It's worse if I do any kick sets earlier in the workout. Gatorade does not help prevent them. Any advise?

    DPT94: No solution here just support. I get hamstring cramps (some time both at once) and usually I feel it (them) coming on after a hard push off the wall toward the end of a workout. I tried the suggestions given here but so far with no help. However, I read an article (on-line) that suggested cramps were at some level genetic.:2cents:
