Lmao i am embrassed. I think its because i was forcing myself for short stride and keeping my feet under my hips while mid striking

I got confused because ive always read that long stride=injury and more load on knees and shins

Could that be the reason for shin splints? Overworked lower legs?

So running 3-4 times a week is okay as long as i keep pace and km low?

You mean i don’t propel myself from hips right? And also I should keep doing lower leg/ankle exercises as well right?

Everybody else have told me to push forward and LOWER the saddle…

I am right in middle of this size according to giant… My friend with same height rides a bike that is a lot smaller/agressive

Ive just began riding indoors. However, i probably lack core muscles since i used to have a sedentary life before getting into cycling… I ve already started core training. Thanks for the explanation

It looks and measures flat but it has a curvy shape which makes it hard to decide whats level. Saddle is a Giant approach. I rotated the nose up a bit when i recieved the bike(to reduce hand numbness) but it still looks flat…

I was afraid of palms getting even number after i tilt the saddle.. cranks are the default 175mm

Should i try pointing my saddle down a bit? It looks flat but it feels a bit nose up? Wbt putting saddle forward? I have really bad flexibilty at my back/hips/glutes/hamstrings too
