Long time no see

I love the turbo in Winter or when raining for weeks on end.

Get soem training DVDs or footage from other country and play your fave music!

Come, the night is calling and as for resistance training....

I have only been turboing a week and I recokon it wont be long before the trainers are out and I am running.

I think I am in the small minority in the cycling world, that actually perversely enjoy turbo training.

2 x 20's and 6 x 4's being my staple diet, they hurt, but the payback is high for just an hour of effort which includes warm up and down.

The key is a really good fan, not a domestic grade one, you really need something commercial grade. The one I have makes my eyes water on the lowest setting, but I can go flat out and still hardly have a drop of sweat.

This is the one I use - Honeywell 18" Fan

Overheating can really limit your performance and ultimately the benefit you will get from turbo training.

i was pasta-ing out for Sundays (shhhh, mountainbike, shhhh) race at Thetford

porking the night before a race wastes valuable energy

Did you go Jo?

Or were you porking out? http://road.cc/content/blog/10583-ride-pork

you just missed one Dave, Rollapaluza "Muddy Hell" Night Cross at Herne Hill last Saturday, plenty of time to train for the next one i guess

Anyway, soon Dave'll have his 'cross bike, whack on some lights and it's night time cross round the Tumps. That'll sharpen the old handling skills

dont do it, get yer running daps out and go round the park for 20/30 mins...

I'm just about to go and suffer the pain of 2 x 20 @ 300W's so I feel your pain...
