dying with boredom after 30 minutes.. tried everything I can think of like favourite music playlist, playing favourite tv series, and doing it while watching the laundry spins.. nothing working 🙁

it’s a shame as legs begs for more 70-80% on hrm, how you can do it for an hour?

Everybody’s zwifting now.

Intervals for me, pretty unscientific 3 songs warm up, 1 minute 100%, finish song +1 song, repeat 2 more times then warm down for end of session. 40ish minutes should give you the jelly legs.

that is very very interesting, thanks Ian..

When I destroyed my shoulder and couldn’t ride for 3 months I did several hours a day on the turbo. I bought Movie boxsets and used them for interval training. I went with rocky. Every single film, when he sweats you sweat. The finishing fight is always hard work and I was knocking out 100km per film.

I like the look of Zwift.

Needs ANT+ devices?

70 – 80% of max heart rate? Have you properly worked out what your max is or are you using 220 minus your age? If the latter then do it properly.

Take a look at training zones, 70% is just above a recovery pace. Work out what you need to achieve, long ride on a Sunday, recovery on Monday, intervals on Tuesday etc. Get some decent music going and imagine you’re winning the Tour de France.
