I just found out today how important the correct seat hight is. I have been riding for a few weeks now to get fit. I have monitored my time and distance with my computer and saw that I was averaging about 21 km/h on a 1 hour ride.
I adjusted my seat hight today and rode for 1h 40min at an average speed of 23 km/h and with less effort too.
Next I want to get some pedal clips to see how much that changes things. The main thing I noticed was that I was able to climb hills without having to rise off of the saddle and that eased the strain on the knees.
I think my seat hight still needs a bit of fine tuning but it's pretty close now.
