Dear Paul

I have a query to ask you regarding Marathon running . I ran my 18th marathon today at Bunbury in Western Australia ( 17.May.98) and suffered extreme calf muscle cramp from the 32 km mark. Up until then I was feeling very good and on a sub 3:30 hour target. After 32 km I started to cramp up extremely bad and had to walk/run the remaining the 10km.

I have been on a very low fat diet for the last 3 months and wonder if this has any thing to do with my problem. Could you please tell me of all related problems to the above as I wish to run the Perth Marathon in about 6 weeks ( 5 July 1998 ).

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Regards

Peter
