Such a good question. Other than a few seasons of spin classes and a bit of track, I’d never really trained on the bike, preferring to save that for fun: long rides, touring and day trips. I’m currently dabbling in Zwift because:
a) I’m under virtual house arrest with a small person so maximum efficiency is everything.
b) my usual training (rowing) is off the table for the moment for various logistical and fitness reasons
c) I want to try and claw back a little bit of fitness for when things (and I) get back to normal and I can get out on a bike / in a boat
I’m not tracking much at the moment - if this continues I might try and do more of training plan, but as it is I’m very happy to follow the numbers slavishly for a snatched 30 mins and feel tired at the end.
