Bianchisti Posted August 29, 2012 Share Since I've had my progams worked by a coach, I haven't had a boring minute on the IDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton - theCOW Posted August 29, 2012 Share I seem to do a lot more IDT sessions now during the week, getting out to fight with traffic isn't that much fun. Series is/are my only way to pass time easily, movies have quiet moments, then i feel the ride. Lactate intervals, i suffer and watch the seconds tick away, i miss half the series! I don't have a factory made block for the front wheel, i have raised the front to try level the bike, somehow it just feels more comfy on the road or is that just my mind hating IDT? Used a fan during winter still to try stay cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaStig Posted August 29, 2012 Share Hi, I have been doing lots of hours on the IDT the past few months, and when doing long sessions like 2+ hours on the IDT I find it extremely boring. I tend to grab a magazine/book and end up sitting up and cycle - this is quite a change to my body position when cycling on the road. I was wondering if the sitting up is possibly not that great or if it works other muscles in your legs etc? any help will be appreciated.I spent some $$ on Graeme Street's cyclocore dvd's some time back and it was the best investment, it keeps me motivated for my idt sessions.

Scotticus Posted August 30, 2012 Share 2hrs+ on an IDT...like yoooooorrrr! The max time I spend on an IDT is 1hr, else its 40-45mins which mainly for intervals or recovery. Personally, for Hill training, I'd go to the Hills/up the mountain. No simulation beats that..... Edited August 30, 2012 by Scotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerr Posted September 3, 2012 Share I'm no expert on training or IDT. Personal experience is that training vids help a lot - currently enjoying these myself: www.thesufferfest.com Not everyone's cup of tea - others I ride with swear by Spinervals and Carmichael series. Also agree, set yourself a program and some goals so it's not just spinning without a purpose. I'm planning on giving this site a try in next few weeks: http://www.trainerroad.com/ Partly because they have a set of programs that are timed to link to the Suffer videos - so I get the video and music soundtrack I like, with proper training stats behind it. In the end - I guess IDT is always gonna suck. Just got to find something that works for you to alleviate the boredom, and keep you putting the effort in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
