I'm training for a 24hr endurance race at the end of June and need to start doing some good training at a steady pace.

I've not used a turbo before so would rather try a second hand machine. Guess I'm looking for something cheap that will not put me off using it!!

Any help would be appreciated.

hippy

Endurance training should be done on the road. Save the turbo for specific, shorter, harder interval work.

You'll thank me, really.

A late reply post event.....

Did all training on the road....a lot of mindless miles around the park but paid off with the team coming in 11th of 150 and a bunch raised for charity.

Next step is finding people to ride with!

Can I piggy back off this thread as I am looking for a turbo trainer to help with my recovery from a fractured femur.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
