After hard workouts where we do a lot of sprint work, I have noticed that my stomach is in knots and it stays that way for hours. I don't know why- lactic acid build up maybe? I am eating a banana before practice, like I have done before every practice for the last 8 years. I drink water during practice and I warm down at least 300-400 yards at the end. The stomach issues (pain, lack of wanting to eat, etc) come in to play only when we're doing a lot of sprint work (yes, I'm a distance lover). Today it's so bad that I've only eaten a banana and a bit of chicken and green beans and it's 2:30 now and yet I swam 7-9 this morning.
What can I do to prevent this? What is causing this?
Thanks. I'll try the tums before next time I see that we're having a sprint day. I can take some in my bag and pop them when he hands out the workout (we get them on paper at the start of practice). I'll start small amounts and see how that works.
