I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.
FWIW, I use Cytomax, .
That stuff is just plain NASTY. They must have been a sponsor of the Phoenix-PF Chang's Marathon, as it was the only drink available on the course (or after), other than water. A couple guys I know got sick from it, and I was pretty close.
Personally, I drink either plain Gatorade (the green forumla) mixed with a ton of ice (one of the rare times I use the ice crusher in my fridge)....or more recently G2, also with some crushed ice (for some reason they didn't release the lime G2 until recently). Yea, after a long workout (like a 15-mile run), your body does need some electrolytes, but certainly doesn't need all the carbs in most of these drinks, unless you're doing some MAJOR distances.
