Subject: RE: My new longest trainer ride... 3 hours JohnAgs3 - 2009-02-17 3:25 PM Nice work on the three hours. Yes, 3 hours on a trainer is way harder than a 3 hour jaunt outside. Your legs are spinning all the time..you literally never stop, never have a stop sign, stop light, ...nothing. Your legs are in motion constantly. That's not easy. And once you factor in the mental toughness to sit there for that long without any changing scenery..its tough. I always find the first hour harder than the second for some reason, but I am usually like that with my workouts. My first interval is harder on me mentally than my last. so you mean that it is more training? This period I am doing sadly ONLY trainer session because of the snow and ice outside and I do it 4x week from 45 to 120mins hard sessions Zone 2, Zone 3. I am asking to myself if I will see all the benefits in 1month when spring will come and I will go outside...
