Subject: RE: What Do You Do While On The Trainer?If I'm on a trainer, I'm always riding hard enough for significant periods of time that I can't even listen to music, let alone watch TV. I have no ideas how I would even read on a bike - the sweat pourdown alone would damage the books instantly! I recognize that it's nearly impossible to spend as much time on a trainer as you do outside due to mental boredom issues. (Some hardcore folks do indeed do 6 hr rides on a trainer! ) Thus, I almost always do intervals, hard lactate sets, etc. - basically anything except a relaxed spin. More bang for the buck and less time on the trainer. Plus, you WON'T be bored when you're hammering like crazy, although you feel like you're torturing yourself if you're going hard enough.
