Though I’d start to share videos that I’ve started to use from YouTube to make time on the rollers a bit more interesting.

Only used one so farm but found I worked far harder during this session than watching iPlayer.

As I find more (got one lined up for this evening but would like to use it before recommending it…) I’ll add them to the list

Does anyone else have any favourites that you can recommend?

The tri club I belong to has a structured turbo session every week,twice a week if you want it…never boring with other people around and the coaches keep you on your toes…as well as watching your own heartrate,cadence,smooth pedalling and good technique..so a club set is a really good way of training,plus you cant hide! bet there are cycling clubs that do the same sort of sets….
training on my own, I tend to just get the pumping tunes on and get on with it…you’ll never get better if you don’t work hard..

Entirely false, but hey…

Good music (for an hour or less), or a film (or two) should be all you need, but TrainerRoad is good too.

Here’s another one – no
Here’s another one – no on-screen timer or advanced warning of the next effort.

If you can stick with the one legged sessions then you’re more of a man than me! One legged on rollers certainly keeps you concentrating.

Not the most inspiring commentary but being focused and disciplined soon makes the hour fly by

There are at least two more videos on this guy’s feed, the following has no sound but makes you work for 100 mins: (ignore the dodgy edit from crit riding to regular training at 85 mins!)

Since i’ve not been able to find the sufferfest videos for free on the internet yet, I stick to ‘drinking game’ favourites eg Star Wars instead of downing a shot you simply ‘interval’ when you see a Tie Fighter/Light Saber etc.

It’s not scientific but at least you get to watch a half decent movie of your choice.

I’ve got enough on my mind concentrating on my cadence, pedalling technique, breathing and general effort to keep me occupied.

Second this – especially coupled with TrainerRoad (or something similar with either power metering or some sort of power estimate) so you can’t kid yourself about the effort.

Otherwise R4 podcasts. Better than trance music any day.
