Turbo Trainer Advice

Borrow a power meter, ignore the guesstimates?

Yes - TW2 has kindly offered me a loan of his Powertap wheel so I'll be able to use that to get some realistic data that I can then use to calibrate the stupid turbo settings with.

That would have been brutal. Your rest periods arent rest periods, and your pushing over 180 bpm during the test sections.

Heres mine. Note the difference in power for resting, and my mere 165bpm during the test periods. Much more civilised. It fecking hurt enough though.

Yeah, that looks a lot more normal, there's actual differences between the intervals in yours. There's no way I'd have ever been able to hit those higher points during my session, I'd have totally blown. There's about 7 trainers in the profile drop down that sort of match mine (although none match it exactly), so one of them is bound to match. Surely.
