Winter 2013 stationary cycling

[Anelia]

Let's share our indoor training for this winter here. I'll be the first with 2 trainings this year. Our icy streets and strong wind blowing keep me from going out

This is my workout on the 2nd. I did 3 times 8 minutes intervals with 2 minutes easy between.
Today I did 5 times 3-minite intervals + one 5-minute interval. Rest between: 1 minute.

I know that the easy spinning between the intervals must be longer but my HR drops easily and it's difficult to raise it again.
Usually I listen to Ministry of sound or some other dance music. Watching a movie distracs me and if I watch a movie, my spinning becomes easy to moderate which is a waste of time on the trainer.

I did an hour on the trainer on 1/1. I got a boxed set of Italy Rides from Global Rides for my birthday and we did Speed & Power in Italy. Obviously, very gorgeous scenery to distract you while you ride. Thom was on his rollers and learned that you can not lean with the riders.

I've been on my trainer for about a month now. I found a few free podcasts on iTunes, Get Cyc'd, that I have started doing.

I'm looking forward to what workouts others do....I need productive ideas!

You can have a look here: http://www.training4cyclists.com/how...ax-in-14-days/ I should say the program is quite demanding and you should be prepared to suffer. The good thing is that the workouts are short but rewarding.

Thank you! I will certainly give this a try.
