    I hate rollers and turbo trainers. You sit there you sweat. Yuk. However I am training to increase speed and it is not going well. So I have dusted off my trainer, got my iPod the Giro is on; what more do I need? Have started doing 10×2 minute reps with 1 min rest to improve my 10 mile and 25 mile times (as well as road work). Anybody got an opinion on whether this is a good plan or have advice? Otherwise I suspect the trainer may eventually go back to gathering dust…

    I’m sure intervals on the turbo will increase your leg speed and help with power output. If you suffer from boredom then the 3LC DVDS are worth a look. I’ve got the Hill climbing one and the Sprinting one. They do push you to keep going when you feel like climbing off. Not wanting to sound like an advertisement but they are reduced at the moment too.
