There are two main types of cramps: sudden-onset and a severe localized cramp of a specific muscle (e.g., the right calf) is more likely due to central nervous system fatigue than dehydration or electrolyte depletion.

Cramps that progress from mild to severe and are bilateral (i.e., both calves or both hamstrings) are more likely due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Listen to this episode to discover how both types of cramps are not just bad luck that day or needing another scoop of electrolyte powder, but likely associated with overly-stressful workout patterns in general!
