[Closed] Considering signing up to trainer road

[#6741087]

Been thinking about it for a while but hate signing up for things. Just wondering how others find it?

Is it fairly addictive or at least do you find it keeps you at it? I tend to use my turbo for a week and then stop. I want to get quick and fit but have an 18 month old little girl that doesn't sleep combined with early morning starts so trainer road looks like a good option.

Do you find it boring at all and do you need to have sufferfest as well to keep it interesting? Being the eternal miser I'd rather use youtube clips if possible or just watch the graphs. Is it entertaining enough?

I'm aware I can do a months trial but I'm likely to then forget to cancel so just wanted to ask.

I'm all garmin'd up and have the USB ant dongle combined with my 510. My turbo is also compatible,

Worth doing in your opinion or just carry on as I am?

I did the Brighton big dog and would like to start doing more races, sportives and audax and rather than be the person everyone else waits for it would be nice this summer to be up front to make a change.

Thanks for any input.

Pick a plan like the sweet spot base and go for it.

You don't need the Sufferfest films, although they are good, the majority of my training is done watching the weekend's CX via Sporza, or re-runs of old UCI world cup XC races on YouTube.

If you've got all the stuff then its a no brainer to give it a go, especially as you can cancel your subs, (and re-start them again), very easily.

I normally watch things on bbc iplayer with TR running on the bottom 1/4 of the screen which is fine. You don't need the 510 you need a gsc10 or the newer speed sensor.

Thanks guys. I've got the gsc10.

Got to be worth it if it's that easy to suspend the payments if I get bored or don't get the time 🙂

God help me....
