I think my seat may be 1 or 2mm too low, but it's so slight. I was wondering whether there is something that may be in my technique that could be causing the issue.
Any advice welcome

I took mine to the LBS for a proper fitting. It has made a big difference to the comfort, to the extent I did 80 hard miles last week with no sore knees/hips/back. I would normally have a twinge or two with those kind of miles. Muscles were sore, but that's fitness
I would recommend investing in a bike fitting if (like me) you are a novice in bike set up techniques. It cost £40 without using the 'body-fit' software, £80 with the software set-up. They put me and my bike on a turbo, measured a few things, watched me peddle at various intensities and positions and adjusted the seat height/lay-back, stem height, saddle angle, bar angle and so on. They would have adjusted cleats, but mine were correct. Worth it for the price of a pair of shorts.
