My calves have a tendency to cramp during the run, HIM distance. Near debilitating cramps where you can barely walk. I feel it coming on during the bike (for instance if I stop at an aid station, during the push off to get started again)
Most of the run is fine until the final couple of miles... I will feel the cramp start to ripple through my calf. I am confident hydration, electrolytes are not an issue. I believe it is MUSCULAR fatigue.
Getting ready for my first full IM....
- am I correct that it is muscular fatigue?
- if yes, looking for suggestions on how to best strengthen my calves.
