Hi,

I'm training on the indoor trainer.

Excruciatingly boring.

I've read about DVDs you can watch.

Any recommendations?

 

If there are any tales of how you started out fat and slow and became a TDF contender in just 2 weeks, I would find that very encouraging too.

Sufferfest vids are good (I have Local Hero, Dark Place and The Wretched) and are the only ones I have seen for sale but there are a couple around. Im currently downloading a 25gig folder which contrains several but it didnt say which ones. Also try and google spintervals - there are a couple as well but havent used them so cant comment.

 

Let me know if you come across any others

Spent many hours on the IDT and tbh I prefer to watch popular tv series or films rather than a specific cycling training stuff

 

I like to follow my own training plans and enjoy doing that while watching something totally irrelevant to the mindlessness of IDTraining, something that I look forward to watching, kind of like a way to trick myself to spend time on the IDT...

 

So my suggestion would be to follow a training plan from a coach or other source but use the dvd as a distraction showing something else that you will look forward to watching other than cycling.

Interesting advice:

i.e.

Sufferfest x2

Porn x 1

General series/movies. x 1

 

Guess I'll check out sufferfest for now. I'm specifically looking for some coaching in a DVD

Yeah porn really messes with my cadence and I already have to take *** for the noise and sweat in the lounge ...

Look i'm just guessing here...... but if it stops sweat it will stop catch any kind of body fluid that might come forth...... Unless your aim is a bit off as they are quite narrow.

The indrediants get absorbed and then you have a stiffy for hours .... not a bad thing.... except when dinner guest arrive earlier

 

The other bonus is my girlfriend is a big fan of blueberry

There's one of the all-time best things to watch on an IDT starting this coming weekend, and runs for around 3 weeks daily...

 

July is my favourite month of the year :) :) :)
