I've been eating bananas and oranges like crazy, but I'm still cramping up in my calves when I ride hard. Afterwards, my calves stay rock hard for days. I'm 34 years old and riding at 8000 feet elevation so I don't know if it's just me overdoing it or what. I didn't have such problems riding last year. I also seem to be getting chest pains after only 20 or so minutes of hard riding. What's wrong with me??? Thanks for any help.

I would strongly suggest you go have a complete check up on the possibility of a heart condition. I know you are only 34 but you can have heart problems at early ages. The heart is a muscle as are your calf muscles.
It could be poor diet. Eat plenty of veggies and fruits. They are urgent to good health.
You maybe stressing your body too much If your diet has not been excellent.
Good Luck..

it somewhat is amazingly somewhat elementary. i might say stretch them out and consume a banana until now you circulate to mattress. The potassium interior the banana can help avert cramping or a minimum of make it much less severe. additionally, determine you're sturdy and hydrated, that would help out too.

Don't over do it on the exercises and the potassium. Maybe you should see a doctor just to be safe.
