Sufferfest or Chris Carmichael?

[Malpiet]

Anyone know where i can get a sample training program or even a snippet of the latest "time crunched cyclist 2nd Ed"..?

Dudes didn't Chris Charmichael have great success coaching LA? Hell with that type of success using his videos should be a no brainer, after all who has heard of anyone famous using "sufferfest"?

Did a "really dark place" last night....sommer got the vids on my iphone...phoaar...tough little program.

I found this old chat and wondered if the Sufferfest users can help me out... From what you have used (still using) which videos would you say is worth while, and which are shyte?

 

I'm quite keen to get myself a video (1 to start with) check it out and then continue from there. Are these videos compatible with both rollers and a booster trainer? Does it give resitance indications on screen?

 

Thanks for the help

I have some old sufferfest vids and enjoy them. I would go for one of the newer vids if I were to buy one now.

 

On-screen you are given a cadence indication (e.g. 120rpm) and exertion indication (e.g. 8/10).

 

If you do these right, they hurt like hell but make you strong.

 

I just haven't gone through the trouble of aligning these to my structured training programme, but I'm sure you can do it.

My goto....a very dark place....good intervals.

 

Also like fightclub to keep the legs "punchy"

ISLAGIATT (everything)

Blender (Everything)

Angels (climbing)

Revolver (sprint)

if you do them how you should, then you will cry. Have a cadence sensor. I use the trax IDT. The giant ones just don't have enough resistance

PS this is what "a really dark place" looks like with cadence and powermeters sync'd to it....lekker man, lekker

Yea...kotsies...those little 15sec attacks kill me.

Fight Club and the Wretched are pretty good all rounders that simulate a race and have a bit of everything.

 

Very dark place is also good

Thanks chaps for all the comments and suggestions... Currently I'm thinking of:

Revolver/Very Dark Place & Blender

So I would take it that one simply needs to keep the cadence going at said value and set your tension to reach 8/10... I have a Tacx Booster and Rollers... Rollers, no tension though

9/10 is your effort. if you try setting 9 at 100 rpm sprint as per revolver then you will fall apart.

start with very dark place or blender. With blender you might make the first 45 min on you first try

Yip you will need some resistance because some of them are at a lower cadence but higher RPE. They take you through what 1...10 is ito suffering
