I've been having shin pains for the last ca. 2 months or so. I've had shin splints from running (once!) earlier in the year and this feels a little different and is lasting longer. I am also doing yoga and home workout (planks, pushups, squats - this kind of thing). My doctor said it doesn't seem to be anything more than overdoing it, so I have calmed down on all fronts, except every Wednesday I do cargo bike deliveries (80 to 90km). I try to ice my legs after cycling, take painkillers and generally take it a bit easy on the bike. Any ideas what's behind this/what I can do? (probably rest and stop cycling for a couple of weeks..). Could it be crank arm length or something?
any advice appreciated. -

Thanks for the advice. I cycle to uni as much as possible and have started taking longer detours home. Now the nights are longer I'm trying to fit in a few 40-70km evening rides each week too. I think my main issue is over eating, especially when I'm riding lots I feel like I deserve to eat lots - which isn't the case.

Advice sought. I'm 22 and weigh about 13 stone. When I was 16/17 I was a proper little chubster at around 16 stone - @Bullheart introduced me to bikes and the weight started dropping off (riding fixed probably helped lots). I'm now fairly content with my fitness, cycling-wise, but have a stonking pair of moobs and a beer belly. I'm cutting down ale consumption, increasing cycling activity and plan to improve my diet (<<although I'm not sure how exactly). What are the best exercises for loosing moobs and a beer belly?
Also interested in people's view on pre-breakfast, low intensity rides as a means of fat loss?

Anybody worked in academia then left, not for industry, but for a normal job (whatever that is..). Postdoc here missing the 1 and a bit year I worked as a bike courier between postdocs.
