I've noticed, if you have a good plan, ie power based or heart rate, you do not need a video.

 

Rather get a structured training program and do that accordingly, on a trainer its also easier to control the zones.

While I referred you to Chasek, this is definitely is the way to go.

I have some Tacx virtual videos but rather ride with the catalyst program with a structured session.

also check out "cycling training videos" on youtube.

 

some great rides there - download freemake, and you can save the rides to your pc/laptop.

 

I also have sufferfest, which are unbelievably hard! good stuff.

Problem with Sufferfest is the giant pool of sweat to mop up afterwards. And having to wash the bike down, or face everything going rusty...

 

... and of course the jelly-leg dance you have to do on the way to the shower...

This doesn’t qualify as a ‘video’ per se, but still brilliant on an IDT:

 

I’ve taken to setting up the IDT in front of the TV when a big race is being screened. Tour of Flanders was 3 hrs. Paris-Roubaix was 4 hours. I kept steady pace when the peloton was riding steady, but when they hit a climb, so did I. When an attack went, so did I. When guys were time trialling to get back onto the bunch I’d drop into a big gear and hammer along with them. I was on Impeys wheel going up the Koppenberg and on Sagans wheel as we tried to hold Cancellaras wheel up Oude Kwaremont. Nothing like the surround sound turned up, nose up to the big screen and the commentators in full flight to make the hours just fly by. What a jol.

 

I’ll be doing the same during the grand tours. I just negotiate with the missus well in advance so that there are no issues, and I’ll pick the big days on Saturdays and Sundays. Excuse the pun, but it puts a whole new spin on watching a cycling race.
