I'm in my early 70's and have been swimming since childhood. This year, for the first time ever, my legs have been cramping during workouts, usually after about a mile. I use fins. I imagine this is related to the aging process but maybe there are other factors. Any thoughts or suggestions?
most of the time cramps are because of dehydration of that muscle group, not the lack of the 5 electrolytes of sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium and chloride.
nor does it have to do with stretching.
you are overworking that muscle group without proper hydration for it.
i would like to suggest you back off on the fins and more gradually build up to that distance with them
