Here's the deal. I've been having issues with leg cramps on the swim, but only if I ride or run prior to swimming. It can hit any part of the leg and is most likely related to fatigue, but unfortunately my swim time is pretty much limited to 7:30-8:30pm on Tues and Thursday evenings with masters. I'm trying to get in most of my runs and rides at lunchtime at the gym across the street from my office, which generally means sacrificing a bit of volume in favour of intensity.
Anyone find any effective "tricks" to recover from a short hard session in under 5 hours? Or do just I have to make sure that those days are "easy" and do the harder efforts on Monday Wednesday Friday?
I can ride at home as well, but it really means that I don't get on the bike until after 9pm. I've tried getting up early to train before the wife and toddler wake up, but that just wakes up the dog, who wakes up the toddler, which pisses off the wife, no matter how early it is (the other day I tried 4:30, didn't work....)
