I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.
I use Accelerade during heavy training cycles and it works really well. I think it takes a while to acquire a taste for it but if you dilute it slightly, it is more drinkable. Water alone does not do it, you need the electrolytes, protein, and vitamins.
During meets I will drink Hammer's Heed product because it is lighter than the others and tastes pretty good. That helps residual soreness a lot, especially the day after.
I normally get these at bike stores, especially when they are on sale. Performance normally have the best price but I regard them as the Wal-Mart of the biking market :2cents:
