Here's a great 35-minute turbo training session on video with intervals to mimic riding in the hills.
If you're doing some of your training indoors, especially at this time of year when the weather is bad and roads can be icy, here’s a great ‘how to’ coaching video for you.
It's a full 35 minute training session based on short sharp interval efforts to mimic climbing out on the open road.
As well as offering you the chance to side step bad weather, the main benefit of the turbo is that you can do quality training; getting the length and effort of your intervals to match exactly what you have in mind for your session.
