This actually used to happen to me quite frequently, and did happen the other day and it was so painful I woke up grabbed my leg and started screaming. I was told it was b/c I work out (carido mostly) for 1.5 to 2 hrs per day and I am dehydrated and also b/c I didn't have enough potassium in my body. I have since started drinking alot more water, (especially on days that I work out) and eating a banana when I come home from the gym (b/c they are loaded with potassium). I hadn't had any problems with cramping for like 8 months, until the other day. Hope that helped.
