  • Laptops? DVD's!

    There's only one distraction needed on the turbo..

    Pain!

  • Headphones are the only way to do it. Big over the ear ones.
    You need to block out the turbo noise and you'll forget about it.

  • I am currently more annoyed with my turbo.
    The "turny wheel" that clamps by the rear mech is now pushing/rubbing on the rear mech and affecting gear changes.

    fml.

  • Do you want to borrow mine? Fluid2

    Can see that getting messy when I fall off the rollers ..... as I have done more than once.

  • Do you want to borrow mine? Fluid2
    Are you not using it?
    I'm on twice a week (at least) for the next couple of months.

  • Not right now, indoors I'm swimming (Forest Hill Pools are now open- really convenient) and if it's cold and raining I run, if it's clear I go out on the bike.

    I shouldn't need the turbo until 2013 as my goal is 635 miles by the end of the year, on the road.

  • Seriously?
    That would be phenomenal.

  • No worries, I'll drop it over to you, PM me your address- I can check out those windows at the same time.

  • My gimp chamber

    Close the door, turn off the light, embrace pain

  • ^ I bet you have a heater on full blast in there too :-)

  • No, but sometimes i'll move it into the wet room and hotbox myself

    Euph.?

  • hotbox myself

    I'd google that if I hadn't just eaten.

  • Interval training is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman...
    It lasts 30 seconds, then you fall asleep, leaving the bike to finish itself off?

  • You hammer away for 20 seconds and then have 40 seconds' rest before repeating until boredom sets in.

  • You get hot and sweaty, cry, think about quitting, put in less effort, tell everyone how much pain you endure.

  • Most people on here have never actually done it, only talked about it.

  • I've got proof of doing it at least once.

  • Says the scientist, by his rack of test tubes?

  • To be fair, I think he was referring to the arrest warrant and indictment.

  • I keep buying extra gadgets to try & make it more interesting.

  • If you want a gadget for using on the turbo get an old wired powertap/SRM.

    I'm very results driven, so being able to see FTP going up steadily is a huge boost to my motivation.

  • ^ I thought we were still talking about sex?
