Hello from 1600 meters
I brought along this great indoor trainer that I purchased. Looks as if I am going to be using it because my work schedule has changed. Work schedule will have me getting out late in the afternoon and I dont wanna ride in the dark
I read so many topics here about 2 x 20 at 90-95% of threshold power. Ok, so I know all about those and what they do. They have many advocates and I have no question they must be effective.
Here is what I wanna ask the experts:
I have been doing all sweet spot training outdoors up until now except for the occasional rainy day when I was on the indoor trainer. The bulk of what I have done is 3-4x/week for 2 hours at the sweet spot level per ride. It has been pretty helpful and my threshold power has improved. Plus I like it
Can you do sweet spot style training on the trainer? Like I said, many threads on 2x20 at 90-95% but I am thinking of maybe 85-95% of threshold power.
Oh and maybe this qualifies as a bit of TMI but I guess it might be important to mention: after 25 minutes or so my backside gets kinda sore on the trainer.
So will sweet spot trainer intervals be effective if I break them up into 20-25 minute chunks? In one of his posts, Mr. DaveRyan talked about how he does indoor sweet spot intervals in winter for something around 45 minutes in a row. I just need more frequent breaks for my bum
What do you all recommend? Should I just do the threshold power style intervals and not sweet spot? Or better to mix and match?
