Until now, my regular post ride recovery regime has consisted of any combination of Guiness, bacon sarnie, Mum’s fruit cake. It’s time to concede, at a ripe 39, that maybe there is something a little more effective to avoid the all night leg twitching that develops.
So far, I’ve had recommendations of more Guiness, protein shakes, dessicated liver (now that sounds fun) and a shrug at a local health food store when I said I wasn’t interested in muscle building, just recovery.
Any other suggestions?

Eggs
Steak
Wine

Ok maybe not the last one – but it works for me

try stretching

Magnesium, magnesium, magnesium, as a supplement or green leafy veg. Also keep up iron intake with red meat.

Quinine is your friend… Drink tonic water Stanny, it’s helped me with my disco leg..

mine was very often down to dehydration

Jactation can usually be helped with a bit of jacktation! 😀

stretching/dehydration, your food isn’t bad enough to be causing this.
