Turbo Trainer Session

Friday, October 13 2006 @ 10:56 AM IST

This is the 1st session in a series aimed at working on base fitness and strength. When measured on a power meter a 1 hour session on a turbo trainer can be as much benefit as a 2 hour road spin due to the continuous nature of training on an indoor trainer and the stop, start nature of a road spin as a result of traffic lights, tail winds, down hills etc.

It is probably a good idea to print this and leave it in front of you while doing the session so as to get the zones etc correct...

Session:

• Warm up 10 mins easy at 70% Hr low gears.
• Right leg pedalling only for 60 revs med gear
• 1 min easy then,
