I have just purchased a turbo trainer and want to record my training data into Strava. Now I know eventually I will need a cadence or HR monitor but as I am just starting out I have a cheap wired cycle computer that I was going to use to record time and distance on the back wheel.
Should I be using the distance info on Strava? I know I am not travelling any distance but my bike's wheels are turning and that will cause wear and tear. If anything recording the distance will help me monitor that.
So, if I do a 30 min turbo session and my back wheel turns the equivalent of 10 miles and I cheating Strava by inputting that I did 10 miles or should I just be inputting that I rode for 30 mins?
Thanks!
