Morning,
Yesterday I completed my second 50 mile sportive. At about 2.5 hours, I started to get pain on the outside of my right knee and in the small of my back (right side). When I wiggled the toes on my right foot, I could feel it 'pulling' in my back. Pain immediately went away when I got off the bike but returned when I had been riding for a bit. By the end of the ride, the pain in my back was quite nasty. Can this be caused by the position of my cleats? Or is it down to the bike? I have had a professional bike fit, but I've changed my shoes since then and guessimated where the cleat should go, and I also had a bursitis in my right hip last year.

And secondly, would I benefit from a coach? I've been cycling seriously for a year now and I'm wondering if a coach, with bespoke training plans will help me lift my training from it's current 'meh' status into making me all whizzy.

Thank you
GregP

Wobbling ain't a he.

IMO the problem could be down to the bike or the cleats or something else, which is about as helpful as Boris Johnson at a cycling safety demonstration.

Cleat position matters. Did you do the new ones with the old shoes as a gauge ?

Can you ride in the old shoes ?

Coaching - if you can align a goal with a coach then yes. Everyone benefits from the right coaching.

Gobi - my old shoes were very basic - there was one cleat position, that was it. I'll give the old shoes a whirl, see if that helps. Thanks.

Are we talking two point or three point (or four, but I think only the PoD does Speedplay) fastening here?
