1) What to do for cramping while running
If there is one thing every runner dreads for is the possibility of a leg cramp. Which could be time altering. So everybody has their favourite cramp theory and their favoured remedy but lets consider some facts first.
Cramp is more common in males than in females
Cramp is associated both with the duration and intensity of exercise: the further and the faster the more likely cramp is to occur.
Onset of cramp is usually after 30km in a distance race, regardless of running speed.
Cramp during exercise is almost always in the large muscles that span two joints: the hamstrings, quadriceps and calf muscles.
Cramps are often initiated by a change in speed, gradient or running surface. A classic example is cresting a hill and then accelerating downhill or running on to grass after hours on the tar.
Some people are simply more cramp-prone than others.
Tips:
Stretch regularly: increased muscle flexibility might help to counteract cramp. When cramp strikes, stretch it out. You have to unlock the muscle from its contractile circuit.
Be very cautious when changing speed or gradient in the latter stages of a race. Fatigued muscle cannot readily adapt to the changing demands made upon it.
What to do if it cramps:
a) Try slowing down on the onset of the cramp it might disapear
b) The best thing to do is to stretch the area that’s cramping for 60sec and then slowly release it, one should do this till the cramp has gone.
c) Massage the area
d) One can also spray one of the ice sprays,and slow down ones paces

iridology
WHAT IS IRIDOLOGY? Iridology is the scientific analysis of patterns and structures in the iris of the eye which locates areas and stages of inflammation throughout the body. The iris is the portion of the eye showing color. It reveals body natural strengths and weaknesses, health levels.
HOW DOES IT WORK? The complex iris is composed of hundreds of thousands of nerve endings which are connected by impulses to every tissue of the body through the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibers, respond specifically to tissue and organ conditions with a corresponding physiological reflex manifested in the iris as lesions and color variations. The iris chart, which is the result of many years of clinical observation and intensive research by Dr. Bernard Jensen and others, represents the basic placement of body organs and tissues similar to a map.
WHAT WILL IT SHOW? A complete iris analysis will show whether a person exhibits a generally good constitution or a poor one, depending upon the density of the iris fibers, The patterns, structures, colors and degrees of lightness and darkness in the iris tell if an area of the body isnaturaly strong or weak. It also reveals the relative site of over-activity, irritation, injury or degeneration of the tissues and organs. Toxic accumulation levels can he observed as well as nutritional and chemical imbalances.
WHAT WILL IT NOT SHOW? Iridology will not show or name a specific disease but provides information about the body tissues which indicate tendencies toward conditions of "dis-ease", often before symptoms appear. Iridology will not reveal surgery performed under anesthesia as nerve impulses are discontinued. Iridology cannot locate parasites, gallstones, or germ life, but will indicate the presence of inflammation and toxic conditions which are a refuge for their development. It will not show pregnancy, as that is a normal function of the female body
