I have a CycleOps Fluid Trainer that is three years old. I have been having a difficult time with my trainer this entire winter. I am experiencing a much higher heart rate than I am when I am outside and my power output is significantly less than when on the road. I understand that the Fluid trainer creates consistent resistance throughout the entire workout, but I swear it seems more difficult than in the past. I have seen a couple posts here about workouts seeming a little harder on the trainer (and I am familiar with that), but it does seem magnified as of late. My question is, does my trainer need servicing, is my problem a result of the constant resistance of the trainer, or is my problem psychological?
Thanks for your input.
