Hi all, Looking for some guidance here. I picked up a Peloton stationary back in February of last year as a dual purpose for my wife to get some exercise in (we have 2 young kids now) and for me to do some training on for dinghy sailing and get some good cardio in on a restricted schedule (nice to …

I’d say 90% good. I’m in my 50s though, so a few achy joints are expected. I just need to pay attention to the warning signs so i know when to back off.

I’ll admit that my looking into insoles has just scratched the surface. I’m trying to find out what spending the bigs bucks will get versus spending a moderate amount but still seeing good results. Either way I think it’ll be money well spent since I’ve had my mid-arch specialized body geometry foot…

Just wanted to update here in case others may be able to benefit. After months of bike fitters suggesting my q-factor go wider and wider, I took out a couple of washers and brought it as narrow as possible. Some improvement in knee pain. I read about the foot/ankle tip above and started thinki…

[image] colinkites2000: I started to press down a little more on my heel during the down phase and this flexed the ankle more giving more motion. If I concentrated on doing this more often through the ride, the pain is markedly reduced. This! I was having quite a lot of discomfort with my kne…

[image] colinkites2000: Then in one of the trainer road rides, coach suggested I loosen my lower legs. I started to notice that I was holding my right foot (same side as the pain) really tight and not letting the ankle bend freely I solved a lot of issues by doing mobility exercises on my ank…

I didn’t see it mentioned yet, so I’ll bring up float. How much float do you have with your cleats? Couple years ago I tried out 0 degree float and had knee pain. Took me a couple weeks to figure out that was the cause. Then I went back to 6 degree float. It wasn’t an instant pain relief as my knee…

I hope it works out with the cleat adjustment for you. I have The red Xpedo cleats, which I believe are 6 degrees. I feel like I have the range I need there - almost all the way duck to a little bit pigeon (I still don’t know exactly where my foot wants to be so I tend to play with the angle a bit w…

i battled knee issues but mostly from bad position. Once i corrected my position i got back to a strength program which i neglected for over a year. I have increased range of motion and strength in my knees,hips, and ankles. This has helped me tremendously in so many ways. If your not strength train…

Thanks Mike. How did you figure out what “bad position” was?

This all sounds very similar to the knee issues I’ve dealt with for the past 20 years. My knee pain is ONLY in my right knee. Although I have creaking, popping, and clicking in both knees, the pain only exists in my right knee. It first showed up in 1999 when I was attempting a cross-country char…

As in rollers you sit on with your bike like Jetblack rollers inexpensive and fold up and away. There is little to no resistance. And smooth as silk. And because you need to activate your core, glutes and concentrate you can work on pedalling technique
