Cramping?

[kfb]

For any of you out there that have cramping issues, what have you found works best to eliminate them?

I’m just getting back into endurance sports after a bit of a hiatus, and I’ve been having trouble with my calfs cramping up on harder bike rides. Some of this is likely caused by me just being a bit out of “endurance” shape. I thought I had been hydrating enough, but maybe not? What is commonly thought of as the best endurance drink to have along for longer rides? I typically use gatorade, but I can’t say I notice it doing any better than just straight water.

Could an improper seat height adjustment be causing the calf issue?

Thanks for any help!

Bump, I’d also love to hear what everyone ahs to say.

I have long battled calf cramps and thought I had them licked but they are popping up again but this time they are having friends over. I’m cramping in random places during just about all of my workouts lately. I drink Ultima with extra potassium and have started using thermolyte tablets during rides.

The Ultima used to work and I think i was lessening the amt I was drinking hence the return of the cramps. I’m back to drinking alot of it to see if it helps.
