So, likely too hard, too soon for that one session but in general, you need to have a reason to ride them, really, otherwise you may as well just sandpaper your eyeballs or something. I use turbo because I know I need to do some training for events but I don't want to ride outside most lunchtimes because it's shit, risky, not very productive (insert all the reasons). Turbo is good for time-crunched training.
If you want to ride them, I'd dial it right down and ride something like 30min easy while watching something (ie. super chill to just get in the habit of getting on turbo) OR keep it 30min but make it challenging enough you can't concentrate on watching something. Painful enough that it seems to be over quick.
If you just can't be arsed with it though, no harm in doing something else.

I have a set of rollers that I barely use, but it would be good to get confident on them for race warm ups (mainly track at HHV). Do you use a powermeter with them, or just RPE? How structured are your sessions?
AI FTP potentially too high after a few weeks off due to sickness (although it did come down a fair bit). But generally I just can't motivate myself to ride in 10+ minute blocks indoors. I used to find TR a novelty and have used it successfully previously.
Yep
