A friend of mine just began a running program. She noticed that she experiences leg cramps during the run on days when she eats fish. Is there something in fish that can cause leg cramps? I've been a runner for 28 years and I eat fish regularly. Never a problem. But, it's a repeatable issue for her.
"...on days when she eats fish." Did you mean that literally, or are you cleverly trying to tell us that your friend is a lesbian? I don't see where either one would cause leg cramps......unless you do it way too much.

i could see where eating too much fish, literally, might lead to mercury poisoning...as for too much, figuratively, as long as she's not selfish i dont see where that's a problem at all.
The recommendations for metal poisoning is less than twice per week for large fish like tuna, swordfish, etc. Farm grown fish like catfish and some salmon should also be restricted because of pollutants. Only twice per month if you are pregnant.
What kind of fish? I've heard of some people allergic to shrimp, lobster and other shellfish. Sometimes an allergy may not manifest itself until you increase you bodily metabolish 3-4 times during running or other kinds of exercise.

That's because she's eating the fish with her legs spread.
If she is eating ONLY fish and is extremely lean, perhaps her muscles are running short on glucose resulting in cramps? Maybe she needs more calcium and potassium.
