Phil has taken to using the turbo once a week as his plan is telling him to do some pretty serious sprint intervals now.
He is quite red and a bit annoyed with me at the moment for even taking the picture but there's not much he can do when he's in the middle of a 5 minute 'zone 4' effort... sprint! I am sure he will get me back, or maybe not because he's not so good with computers!
He's on week 17 of the 30 plan and it's all going well. The Sunday rides are now increasing in time and distance but I think he's starting to reap the benefits of listening to a plan and following it as best he can.
So turbo trainers need not just be for those Winter conditions that would prevent riding on the road or fell, but can become a very valuable part of any training plan. He's harder than me though, there's no way I could ride on a static trainer for an hour or more without music!
