Three indoor cycling sessions and one cramp... my training diary entry from May 5 2026

Hi Actifitters,

after taking it pretty easy the previous days, I wanted to increase the intensity of my training again yesterday. I started with the Climb of the Week and aimed to keep my heart rate low despite the gradient. That worked quite well. Afterwards, I did a training session where the goal was to repeatedly ride for a few minutes just above my performance threshold. That was more strenuous, but I think it had a very good training effect. Finally, I rode the Climb of the Week again, this time the 125% version, which is 25% steeper than the original. This option is available in Zwift. The 125% version is unlocked after successfully completing the 100% version.

After a long workout, I always take magnesium. I sweat a lot when I'm on the bike for so long, and I'm aware that I need to replenish the lost minerals. I also always warm up to some extent to prepare my legs for the upcoming workout. So far, this has helped me avoid painful cramps. However, I've been having occasional problems lately, including last night. Does anyone have any tips on what else I can do to prevent cramps?

Unfortunately, work is very busy today and I don't know what kind of training I'll be able to do. But I'll definitely get my steps in and squeeze in a short bike ride whenever possible.
