2 hr endurance ride on turbo

I did 90mins on the trainer last night and found a podcast for the dull bits and some music for the harder efforts got me through.

Reminds me, I do need to create a playlist full of high tempo songs to help get me through efforts and tweak my data screens on my garmin

Yeah no doubt, I’ve done Ventoux twice on the turbo fro different sides, I couldn’t wait for it to be over but that wasn’t because it was on the turbo, it just really hurt.

There are some long routes on zwift that would be perfect for a long ride, might just have to adjust the feedback level if you’re tying to keep your HR down on the climbs.

I really need to do some longer rides on zwift over the winter I’ve really slacked off at the end of the summer this year.

I guess it really comes down to WHAT type of ride your doing??

If it’s a 2 hour workout with varying wattage/cadence etc, OR a 2 hour ‘free ride’ where the terrain/gradient changes, you’ll probably want to keep the zwift (or other app) screen as the main one, because otherwise the resistance changes will be an annoying surprise…

But, if it’s literally 90-300 minutes as a custom workout set at, say, 185 watts, then you can sit on the turbo spinning away, whilst watching a film or something else….

I did 1hr 45 workout today (purple unicorn) and though it was both long and hard (fnar fnar) it wasn’t boring as i was constantly awaiting the next interval change etc…..
