    Re: Turbo trainer sessions

    there's the infamous '2 x 20' session, which basically involves working at a constant rate near threshold for 2 x 20 mins with a five-minute rest spinning lightly in between

    you can measure 'near-threshold' effort by power or by HR apparently - I measure it on the gym bike by the flow of sweat off the end of my nose

    you'll find hods of info if you google it - including this bikeradar thread:

    eh up - i actually paid to download a sufferfest film (Angels) - it's an hour wok out with some warm up then some intervals with bike race footage.

    efforts are described as a mark out of 10

    it's about £7 - tried it out ended up with a right puddle of sweat on the floor - thought it was dead good

    Yup, pages 108/109.

    I would post the session on the forum but the author has shown litigious tendencies on a previous thread.
