What’s the longest you’ve been on the turbo?

117 miles ————————————— No he didn’t.

9 hours ————- —————————- Quite possibly.

Tens of thousands of feet —————— Oh no he didn’t.

 

So love it when you’re always wrong 😀 We both did the Welsh DD last year 122 miles > 13000ft 9hrs moving. Should I dig it out for you? Hahaha

 

 

He’s spot on. The only thing you can say from your image is that you were on the bike for over 8 hours.

Firstly, I didnt do it, my mate did the ride.  If you havent got the admiration to see the mental and physical fortitude to ride on a turbo in a single session for that amount of time, what a sad little world you revolve around in.  The figures are all there to see.

I’ve done a few 2.5 hr sessions when I had a big race coming up and couldn’t fit the training any other way. Really though, It’s so unpleasant I’d rather stuff angry wasps up my jaxi.

That seems like a long time for some race prep – endurance event ?

i once did 20 mins on a spin

i once did 20 mins on a spin bike as part of pre season rugby training, that’s the longest i’ve sat on a static bike but I like the cold. Always trained in the snow/cut up muddy fields in the winter when playing (Rugby) and wind, snow, rain whilst shit for the most part cycling, is just a part of life. I guess if i was a competiton rider it might be different but then kids/family/career and rugby was more important and I was never going to be anywhere close to being good/fast enough so not something I’ve thought I needed to do.

Well done to those that can sit on a turbo/rollers etc for hours at a time, personally couldn’t do it no matter what.

Here we go again….

On Zwift he did.

Unless you have some reason to doubt it, he did.

Don’t be such a mindless pedant. Same effort or more for the simulated versus real-world terrain (modulo wind), figures quoted ‘in app’ – what’s your issue ?

I did 60 miles on Zwift which

I did 60 miles on Zwift which was just over three hours. Got very dull towards the end. I usually try and do around an hour at high intensity or with intervals now rather than long sessions.

90 minutes, on TrainerRoad. 

90 minutes, on TrainerRoad.  Was painful, more than dull.  Backside and hands ached in a way that they do not on the road.

5 hrs on a turbo, good lordy no.  That said I start to get a bit bored after about 4 hrs on the road, Alpine trips excepted.

Quite a few 4-5hr sessions in

Quite a few 4-5hr sessions in those two utter bastard winters we had a few years ago.  Usually I tend not to go past 2

I did 8 hours as a virtual 200km as a fundraiser. It got tough towards the end especially as I was doing it after a week or two starting keto.
