  • It rarely happens. The most i can manage is about 1hr 40.

    I see a lot of people doing 2 hours plus and just can't get my head around how you can do that. They claim it's low intensity / 'base' riding but I can't think of anything worse. If i'm gonna use that bastard thing might as well make it intense and hopefully profitable.

  • It sucks but can be useful. Also, it's not necessarily base. Adam Topham has won the last 8000 years of BBAR and his training seems to consist of 1-5hr turbo sessions at tempo and sweetspot intensity, which if you've ever tried it, must suck massive balls to ride at for 5hrs. I can't focus that long at that intensity but that's why he wins BBAR and I do not. Oh that and I don't actually try to win BBAR, that might also have something to do with it :)

  • You and @hippy have just described my worst nightmare. I ended up trying to do a 2 hour z2 on the rollers once - after reading my training diary coach told me never to bother again. After 70 mins I was on the verge of losing my mind and I had to stop, even varying cadence and doing some (one foot etc) cadence drills didn't help. I'd rather be out in the rain/dark/snow than try that again.
