As the title suggests, i'm orf on Friday the 16th to Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre for a visit to Emma Colson to try and remidate some ****ling issues.
Since this will be my first fitment since I bought the bike and i've done plenty of 4 hour -> 8.5 hour rides on the bike covering distances up to 200km in a single sitting, i'm fairly comfortable.
However with my intensity and volume ramping up since i've started getting properly trained some issues are coming out of the woodwork. Basially some Glute muscle issues which a little painful and stiff, and some mild lower back stiffness.
Now I do stretch a little every day, and some core exercises daily, but just does not seem to help. After reading in this months Bicycling Australia magazine the bit from Steve Hogg about pelvic asymetry the light globe just flickered on.
Looking at myself in the mirror while stretching, it looks to me that i've got a leg length discrepancy. Or at least the femur is longer on one leg than the other.
ANYWAYY!
To the point... Since i'm 'comfortable' on the bike, just when i'm pushing higher intensities things are seeming to get uncomfortable. Should I just play mute after describing my problems? or does anyone have suggestions on information I could take with me to speed up the process?
