A knight of Sufferlandria will do 12 hours. MTFU.

Managed an hour and a quartet on the rollers earlier. Was going for an hour and a half, but numb nuts ended play.

DOne 2h 7mins ealier. Quite boring.

Theres talk of 100mile indoor roller challenge for charity next weekend. Thats gona be fun.

Then, dying for a drink you’ll reach for the tap and that is when the build up of static will release itself and you’ll be ZAPPED!!!

Err. I carry a water bottle on the bike and drink as I would were I out on the road.
🙂

Skillz innit !.

Thing is I’d much prefer to be out on a bike rather then sat in 3m sq room – I have been using both the rollers & Turbo a fair bit recently, ‘cause the local trails are so wet, muddy and the weather is relentlessly crap – and while I can happly sit on the road bike in relative comfort for 7hr – once I get over about 40mins I’m very uncomfortable & beginning to do tissue damage.
That said, a well target session need not last more then 40 – 50min – a particular fav on the rollers is a cadence pyramid – increasing from 50rpm to +100 rpm – cracking work out – great for smooth peddling, speed endurance, and core conditioning

Souplesse ?.

Got 2hrs lined up for the morning, done it a few times, weirdly the first thing to go was my hands, probably holding with a death grip as I’d not long had them.

Tried to make it a bit more interesting this morning learning to ride no handed…I can go down the clubhouse with them then, take my jacket off while riding and look pro…. :o)

I did 2hr 15mins today, 2 x 30 mins at threshold plus warm up and cool down. Was brutal! 3hrs to do tomorrow though…

I did nothing but rollers for about 10wks, learnt all the tricks plus my pedalling technique / efficiency is tons better. I love them!

Can I see these roller setups please.

I use my rollers all year round for specific sessons. Granted more in the winter when its minus 10 out and covered in snow. However I still do one session a week on them even when its plus 20 and dry out.

They just save so much time and hassle.

I use mine for all my intervals including tabata, 800 watts is doable if your techniques up to it. I do have the Elite ones with resistance though, howevrr i only have a 42 tooth chain ring, so those with a 53 would get a good workout even on normal rollers

Hitman, i’ve got the blue tacx rollers (but on monday my elite ones with resistance will be back, yay)…I can hit Z5a (out of 7 zones) on the tacx ones in 53:12, rpm of 100-110. So yes, its possible, just need to spin faster! Ones with resistance much better though.
