i spent last weekend at a training camp for mountain-bike racing -MTB Marathons here in Europe are longer with lots of vertical usually 50km and 1500-2500m vertical (5000-8000ft)- anyway, the trainer mentioned 2 supplements that are important for significant endurance training: calcium and particularly magnesium.
not sure exactly, but supposedly magnesium helps muscles recover better and help prevent the soreness after a hard workout.
i was told to take the calcium and magnesium NOT together - i.e. magnesium in the morning and calcium in the evening...
anyone know more about these and what exactly they do and how much is good to take? i was planning on buying some supplements and taking about half of whatever the bottle/manufacturer recommends...
