Any swimmers on here managed to get cramping in feet and calves under control?
I have been swimming twice a week for about a year. I’m comfortable to swim 2k in under 40 minutes, but I keep getting cramps in my feet/calves. My toes/arch of foot can go quite regularly, but last night I had a hard cramp in the bottom of my calf where the Achilles attaches.
The only time I cramp on the bike is when I get cold. I ride with leg warmers/winter boots much more than most people to keep my legs and feet warmer else I can get really painful cramps.
So is this just a case of being stuck with cramping as soon as my legs get colder in the pool, or swimming in a wet suit/booties and look like a twit?
