What is the longer time/distance you done on a turbo trainer?

[The_Weekend_Report_Guy]

I thought about one for 5 minutes once. Then I went for a bike ride.

Lucky you..! You could go for a ride..!

This things are the work of the devil... I do use them very often because of time restrictions.. Or weather.. Or just scared to go out...

My normal sessions are structured 45 mins. I will often jump on and watch some sport or a TV program, these are more like mindless miles though. If my weekend ride is ruined by rain then I will use a real life video and climb a mountain. I have a 'smart' trainer so it controls the resistance for me automatically to reflect a pseudo reality. Software wise I use Tacx and Veloreality and very occasionally Zwift, or I just manually control via my Garmin.

Nice..! I wish I could get me a smart one... (trainer) on that way one of us will be smart on the bike... Never heard of Veloreality.. Will have to look it up.. 45 minutes seems like the right time... Or all the time my brain can cope with... Even when I did some very stupid things on a trainer..

Four and a half hours.
70 miles,
2 different rides. Both done just to see if I could keep going.

It's all in the head! I'm not getting off until I do what I planned to do.

I have been doing about 5-7 hours a week over 5 days. My longest individual session was about 1hr 50m.

I use the bkool system and vary the sessions I choose to do. Shortish hills/mountain sims to longer flatter sessions, some velodrome work/intervals. Videos and 3D.

It can be but I have found a system that works for me most of the time.

0 miles, 0 minutes. I'm not afraid of the weather, and even if I were they do zero to maintain my control skills or road craft. Were I a cycling fitness geek i might then use one in addition to my riding, but I ain't.

 

[The_Weekend_Report_Guy]

My longest attempt?

Had to be that one... Or something similar since I did that a few times at the start of the year..

Is a story behind... Just haven't wrote about it "yet"
