There's loads of individual workouts you can do without being on a calendar based plan. If you select "ride type" -> "training" on the screen before you start riding there's loads that are grouped into plans but you can just do any you like the look of.

I’m doing sufferfest at the moment. Free trial, structured workouts (following power or rpe) targetting cadence, form, endurance, whatever, plenty of pro tour footage. Silly meta narrative of becoming a sufferlandrian/resisting donuts but don’t mind it that much when the sweat is everywhere. Most importantly, no choppers. Worth a look?

Maybe give TrainerRoad a go, I didn't think I was interested in following a training plan either and I'm still pretty slack at it - I skip sessions, do them on different days etc. - but there are plenty of workout options and it makes it interesting enough for me.
I haven't tried Sufferfest but it doesn't appeal and I find Zwift far too choppy.

I’d rather go back to watching some footage from someone riding up Stelvio or that on youtube.
Yep.
Have you tried the real video stuff that some of the other companies offer? RGT and check the turbo training thread for other suggestions that I can't remember. Oh yeah FulGaz?

I’ve done my 25k or whatever it is you get free on Zwift and...meh.
I’m riding my fixed bike on dumb rollers and just using speed and cadence sensors so I know my game speed/power etc isn’t going to be very accurate but I don’t know that being any ‘faster’ would make it any more enjoyable. I think I just find the graphics and stuff pretty dull, I’d rather go back to watching some footage from someone riding up Stelvio or that on youtube.
It seems to knock my speed back to a crawl on any climb and I did find that pretty frustrating. I tried increasing my cadence on the climbs today, using them as intervals almost and it blasted me up the first one but then I don’t know if it got wise to my non-resistance trainer or what but it didn’t seem work after that.
I’ve absolutely no interest in racing or really following a training plan, just wanting something to make sitting on the rollers a bit more interesting.
I’m sure I saw someone mention on here another thing like zwift that worked better for fixed/rollers?
Failing that, does anyone know where I could find some roller ‘session’ instructions that I could look at? I was doing my own version of intervals and stuff while watching vids/listening to music but I don’t know if what I was doing was really any good. Like I say, I don’t want to follow a training plan like I know you can on zwift but just having some sessions to look through might help.
