It's been a while since we discussed this, so I thought I'd throw it back out there. There is some good discussion of fluid trainer resistance v. temperature on this thread: http://www.cyclingforums.com/t-380967-15-4.html And a measurement of the KK Road Machine's power curve v. temperature specifically, here: http://www.cyclingforums.com/showpo...16&postcount=56 |

Re: 2x20s how often
Considering the thing is only gonna cost me $20 and i've had this trainer forever, I don't really mind any slight fluctuations. Maybe some day i'll get a power tap, but not for a few years at least.

Besides, the focus is too narrow. Yeah, the SSTs on the trainer are great this time of year, but can you ride outdoors? Mix it up. Include some longer rides in the tempo range. Perhaps do one long ride in zone 2 to give yourself a mental break. Where are your sprint workouts? I did my first 2x20 SST session this Thursday and followed it with about 1:45 outside on my favorite route and tried to keep it in the tempo range. It was challenging...but I didn't feel totally worked afterwards. Off day on Fri, then tested my FTP on a long mountain climb today. Tomorrow something long and hardish, then I've earned another off day. 2x20 SSTs are a piece of the puzzle; they're not the whole shebang.

Re: 2x20s how often
I would love to ride outside if i could, but i can't. I thought the idea was to focus on sprinting/vo2max closer towards the season. But yeah, i broke it up into three day sets.
