I have two questions. 1 is about a pain in my hamstring and the other is about pedaling. The 2 questions are related...
Lately about 20 minutes into a ride, my right (never my left) hamstring gets a little twinge in it. Its not painful, its not really tight, but there is definitely something there. I take it easy for a couple of minutes and it seems to get better. Almost completely. I can still push very hard, but its in the back of my mind. I know I am probably not describing it too well, but does anybody have any suggestions?
I dont really stretch pre or post ride (duh, i know)... But i do try to take it easy and warm up the first couple of miles.
And the second question Is about spinning your crank.
How much are you actually pulling up with one foot as the other foot is pushing down. if you had to do a % what would it be. ( like 70% down with one foot and and 30% up with the other)
I know when I got my fitting at Halter's, J taught me about trying to spin my feet in circles as opposed to just pushing down left, right, left, right, etc, etc..
Any insight anybody has is appreciated
