can anyone shed light on this problem?
Ive up'd my mileage to around 100 miles a week - starting back in June. A bit of sprinting at start of week, hills in the middle of the week and then the usual long ride at weekend. Nurtition is good and I drink tonnes of water and finish with whey protein as I sometime do some light weights before going out the door.
Last Saturday I did 20 miles and then went out in the evening to a 20 year school reunion party.
I hadnt been drinking alcohol for some time and yes I had the dread hang over the next day but I also had calf pain of death in my left leg!
Ive done all the usual RICE and iburpofen but Im starting to wonder has the lack of electroytes drinks in my routine and the sudden drinking caused the prob?
Thoughts?
