Ok I haven't been on in awhile just been to busy. I have a little bit of an issues. I have been a swimmer my entire life, lately when i swim post swim I get a lot of stomach cramping.
To describe it a bit better, have you ever had hunger stomach cramps? Like passed the growling stage and it just cramps ups? Now I know people will say just eat, that's the problem I am eating a ton. Pre swim workout i eat a banana or 2 with a Honey stinger waffle or something. Post swim I make sure to eat plenty, like yesterday I had a footlong subway veggie sub. around 2:00 cramps.
Now I can run on an empty stomach no cramps, bike empty no cramps.... Just when i swim.
Any Ideas?
Maybe not your issue since
Maybe not your issue since you're an experienced swimmer, but last year I had stomach cramps during and after swimming which was due to "eating" too much air during my longer swim workouts. Gas-x solved the short term cramp issue...focusing more on being relaxed in the water has solved the issue long term.
maybe dont eat before your
maybe dont eat before your swim and only eat after. +1 to eating air while swimming. i do that and if i dont burp enough i will get stomache cramps.
Its normal according to me
Its normal according to me one should not eat before swimming eating after swimming is a better option.
