Did my local route with the pack yesterday, up to about 1,100 vertical. Still sore, I strained my lower hamstrings a little on both sides, almost like a charley horse, never had that happen before.
I think I need to increase my IPA intake. Electrolytes and all that.
I upped my uphill weight and speed at the same time last month and got some pretty grim cramps in the adductor longus or sartorius muscles later in the night that kicked my azz. A trainer friend advised to stretch more and add an electrolyte to a water bottle and to take 500mg of Magnesium daily. I did all 3 and something worked. Double I is your friend [ibuprofen and IPA].

Yep, out of everything I did at the gym I think the thing I'm missing the most is stretching. I can do it at home, but I haven't been. Got to get back in the routine of doing that every day.
