The weather is so bad I may have to use the turbo

Only 17 minutes but its a start.....

I doubt that 17 minutes on a turbo is going to have any training effect whatsoever

I managed 3x 20 minute intervals this morning, the whole session was about 90 minutes

I watched the rest of "Bladerunner" and then listened to music

3? At threshold? Eeek. Even I, with my professed love of turbo training, shudder at that!

I did about 3 minutes this morning. My target is complete the warmup section on the video I'm using.

No, at 10 beats below threshold.  I'm only flesh and blood

Yep, no doubt about that but it got my legs moving and perhaps instead of walking past it on the way to the freezer, I'll stop and use it a bit more.  Every journey starts with a single step.

That's my view.  17 minutes on a turbo is 17 minutes you aren't sat eating in front of a TV.

If nothing else they are useful for a low exertion "loosener" the day after a hard ride.

However....treat yourself to a download of a Sufferfest video for the Laptop.

They do make a difference to the turbo experience  http://www.thesufferfest.com/video-sufferfests/

I wouldn't be able to suffer 90 minutes. I do half an hour including pyramid sets. (Check me out with the training terminology- I think I've done it 3 times  )

My mate just texted me to say he'd done 5 hours on the turbo today and had one more to go.

They do 30 min videos

The longest I ever did was 2 1/2 hours.  That was when I couldn't ride on the road due to busted collar bone in 2008

There's always someone doing something more mad/painful/mind-numbing/daft out there!
I know of at least one tester who has done 12 hours in race position on the turbo.

(I rate that as about one mad/painful/mind-numbing/daft point above actually riding a flat DC 12hr TT.)

Update: he did 7 hours with half hour for lunch. He's traing for my arrow team.....eek!
