sawylNot a good day for exercise, thanks to the horrible humidity, but that didn't stop me doing some biking/running, although by the end of it I felt as though I'd misplaced a quarter of my body-weight.
Having become convinced that my recent minor knee annoyance was due to a mis-aligned cleat, so instead of a proper distance ride I did a whole load of circuits and changed the angles and positions on my shoes after each one until I found something that suited. I found that moving the cleats back made a really big difference and that, with the old setup, I'd probably been using my toes more than the ball of my foot. I also found that that the left plate had drifted off centre, giving me a tendency to twist my knee slightly, which in turn may have been the cause of the nagging problem I've been seeing on and off for the last six months or so.
