Well, due to the temp, and the fact that the roads are covered in ice (yeah, not just snow, but ice), I just did 3.5 hrs indoors. I find if i do it at the gym, all the people serve as a distraction. Also, music is a must. So is food. Things to pass the time are watching people come and go, time your water intake (countdown till the next time you can drink water), time food intake, do intervals, bring a HRM and try to keep your HR within certain narrow zones (ex. 145-148), change the zones frequently, but not by much (unless doing interval), if the gym has tv, watch that. With all of that, its still very very mind numbingly boring. My best advice, split your ride into smaller chuncks, do 45 min, then lift, then do another 45 min. Or, an hour in the morning, and another hour in the afternoon. I know its not as good as doing long sessions, but when the weathers bad, its sometimes the only solution. If youre just working on cadence, i dont see needing to do anymore that 45min to 1 hr. Spinning classes are the best for that. Make sure your instructor is a cyclist, and he/she will tailor it to the needs of cyclists.
I max out at 1 hour. Even watching a movie, I'm going stir-crazy at 40 minutes and the remaining time is bloody torture. I don't have any problem with comfort - it's just the mind-games. Even without the bike, I'd actually have trouble sitting down and watching TV for an hour.Originally posted by Sparky511
I sit on my trainer twice a day for 30 min. I usually drag my bike on the trainer in front of the television.

How much time do you spend working on cadence indoors?
I've been spending about 20-30 minutes but just get totally bored after that. Is there a recommended amount?

Guys, If it wasn't for indoor training I wouldn't be a cyclist.

In theory they can only be frozen off once. Given that they often travel in pairs, two times out there freezing them off should make you immune (please verify that at least one is missing following that first ride).Originally posted by limerickman
So i went on the indoor trainer today - cause it's warmer than freezing ones nuts off.
But it is boring.

Thou are truly blessed, my son, for, no matter how cold the ride, thou shalt never freeze them off again.Originally posted by limerickman
