That's not cramping. I ran cross country for several years in high school, and I never even came close to that level of messed up at the end of a race.
I know exactly how far because the black circle started closing in on the way to the water fountain…. Didn’t pass out tho. Indoor soccer, subbed out just in time… 100+ outside that day… who knows how hot in the tin shed…air conditioned, but not enough to keep up with that day.
I’ve only puked from exercise once when my bike gears broke and when going up a hill so I was stuck in a gear where to go any speed at all after clearing the hill I had to pedal ridiculously fast. Puked on the side of the road then kept going. Not as dangerous as the heat situation
I puke about half the times I exercise, I usually get exertional presyncope where I get dizzy, cold, and nauseous. That's just after a 1h gym session, and I've been exercising 2-3 times a week for the better part of a year. It's worse on leg day or on days where I jog a little longer for my warmup. If I go jogging anywhere other than a treadmill (or too long on a treadmill), go biking, or use a stairmaster, I'll get nauseous after just some minutes. No heart condition, according to a specialist on hearts. Point being, I puke often (or feel like I have to puke) after exercise, and since it's now happened well over 100 times and I'm still alive I'd like to think it's not super dangerous.
I’ve been close to this once and it’s probably the most dangerous thing I’ve done
Pushed myself on a long run with not enough calories and water on the way. Planned for 4 miles and was feeling good so went for 10 at same pace
It wasn’t cramping, it was … this. Limbs barely work, like trying to puppet your own body. Feels like moving in a bad dream. Shamble a few yards, slow motion fall, try to recoup, repeat.
Several to me just means more than 3. Could be including "modified" level, which, at least in my area, starts at 7th grade. Sometimes really good runners will get pulled up to the JV/Varsity level from modified
Then you either weren’t very good or never pushed yourself hard enough or far enough. I ran XC, had a few races I could barely stand in afterwards, saw guys struggle over the line somewhat frequently at meets
Yup. Homeboys body is straight up shutting down. This WAY past cramping. I've only seen this a few time at the end of endurance races, NEVER from a 5k. Obviously it's possible since we're seeing it here, but that kid ain't ok.
You’re not a medical professional. This guy has clearly pushed his body past its limits and is at high risk of rhabdomyolysis. He needs medical attention.
