Otherwise, being reasonably fit, I found that I could push my body far beyond what the individual specific muscles were used to enduring, leading to agonising cramps after a couple of hours. No amount of stretching, water, potassium or whatnot seemed to make any difference. But high-intensity training did
Concur - and once they have arrived - all you can do is carry on between spasms. As soon as you feel one coming on - stop, walk, take on fluids. If you don't you will make it worse.

The only way to get fit for the hills is to run them. I am well known for my "flat" runs

Well done though.
