It’s because I’m immunity compromised. I’m more likely to be late if I catch it; if I survive I’m likely to lose my donated kidney. I can’t handle dialysis again. (Dialysing- taking the urine, mechanically). It’s a choice, go mad or die!🤪
certainly sounds good, more miles is what I’m after. That and better recovery.I've got a turbo in the garage, I don't use it for training, more for motivation or put it bluntly to get my arse in to gear.
This year in no exception, I started doing one hour sessions, but as always even with good music boredom set in, so I set up a challenge how many miles can I cover in 30 minutes (yes I know they are not real miles) so far it went like this -
8.39 00:30:00
8.73 00:30:00
9.14 00:30:00
8.23 00:30:00
8.39 00:30:00
9.38 00:30:00
9.51 00:30:00
I would like to get 10 miles for the 30 minutes, now I'm nearly 69 and on beta blockers so I can't get my heart rate above 130 BPM.......but I'm getting there.
The improvements I have found while out on the road has amazed me, I have an e-trike and I have 5 settings normally I use setting 2, but since my training I'm only using setting 1 and of course saving battery power for longer rides, so if it helps an old fart like me it has to be a good thing
I have a stoop, 5-6 steps outside the front door. My address already has a reputation for strange behaviour.Its free to walk up and down stairs (if you have them) all day long.
nope, I am the vulnerable. I’m thinking about a mag trainer, on sale at Planet X for £50-, less than half price. But I don’t know how it will ride, will I waste my money spending so little. There is a similar fluid turbo trainer , I like,(less bits to fiddle with). It’s also twice the price, if the difference between mag and fluid is a muchness, is it worth the extra. I don’t want to go much beyond £200-
No reason to apologise for being interested, I should also add that considering the governments responces, I take little heed of their recommendations!
Getting away from screens is a big reason for me to cycle! I can’t imagine anything worse than playing some sort of video game while cycling! I do watch TV on the rare occasions I use a turbo but would rather not
I second this. Got mine for £100 on Ebay a couple of years ago, although they went mad on recently during lockdown with crazy pricing!! Personally i don't use Zwift or any software, I just either watch cycling on Eurosport or a box set on Netflix. Also, with this particular trainer, if you have a decent Garmin - 530, 530 level - then you get all the metrics displayed too so you can do it without any trainer software.
