All those hours in the saddle are lost if I cant train during this time. Help please Get music, put it in front of the tv...anything to break the boredom. The nice thing is that you need about 75% (so I have heard) time on the IDT to obtain the same result. You can also accurately control your HR for those targeted sessions....but the frigging boredom is mindblowing....
Dsan Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 lock them in the bedroom, make sure they have water and nothing sharp and go for a ride..
Vetseun Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 I like the way you think my friend! lock them in the bedroom, make sure they have water and nothing sharp and go for a ride..
Fish Eagle Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 lock them in the bedroom, make sure they have water and nothing sharp and go for a ride.. HAHAHA! What about babysitters? Aunties? Non riding mates? Surely SOMEONE can help you out Agent...youre going to lose your mind on that trainer...
The Worm Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Get one of those trailer things and connect it to your bike, and go out for a ride. The extra weight of your laaitie will be an extra workout.
deanbean Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Look up Tabata intervals, a few of those a week should keep your fitness going.
Jeepdude Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 oh come on don't be such a weenie and do the trainer thing. you will only get stronger in mind and body. i have found doing 1 minute intervals after 5-10 minute warmup followed by one leg spins of 30 seconds each breaks the boredom and gives you a super workout.so 5-10 minute warmup5 reps 30 seconds on leg and 30 seconds rest. (right leg 30 seconds both 30seconds left 30 seconds both 30 seconds)followed by 20 1 minute intervals with 1 minute rest and cool down of 5-10 minutesyou can always break up the 20 intervals with 10 rest 5 minuntes and another 10.when i do muscular endurance i do 3 minute intervals with 1 minute rest x 10
Jeepdude Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 oh remember keep a fan and towel ready you gonna sweat....
1hill@aTime Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 if you skip a day you won't loose fitness take the kids to the park and play ball
Vetseun Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Ja but I cant lose 3 weeks, and what about my weekly night ride, thats my drug that keeps me going, its over........ suicide is the only solutionif you skip a day you won't loose fitness take the kids to the park and play ball

All those hours in the saddle are lost if I cant train during this time. Help please Just man up, take it on the chin and look after your kid. I cycle 3x per week, and over a two week period 5 of those 6 times happens on the IDT, that is 4x1.25hours+1x1.5hours. This only so that I can be there for my son. Intervals will keep you IDT sessions honest, chase HR zones, do cadence drills.... You won't be able to watch whatever is on the telly! Remember: Kids first, sport last, and a myriad of other things in between!
Chubba Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) here are some good workouts. they are pretty tough! Even if you don't have a Tacx trainer you can get a feel for the workouts. Go to cycle trainer or flow trainer workouts. http://www.tacx.com/en/tacx-coach/trainingsprogrammas/index.dot Edited February 10, 2011 by Chubba
Mads Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Someone posted these IDT workouts https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/96980-idt-workouts/ All different type of workouts. Rollers, Hills, Slow Burning, Sweat Fest and more... I downloaded it on my cellphone (MP3-format). It is a full on spinning class. I find it quite challenging - but then again...... that makes it fun. And a challenge always keep your mind busy while you body is working. But do all the other tips fans, etc. Because yes.. you work hard and you will sweat
