+1 for Sufferfest videos.
Spinning at low intensities gets boring and requires lots of willpower. I've watched movies, tv shows, played PC games with xbox controller, listened to audiobooks, watched TdF stages, watched XC world cup events from redbull.tv, watched twitch, watched youtube shows etc. etc.
The trick that works for me is–raise the intensity and there's no time to get bored. You're focused on just getting through the interval. And workouts can be only 1-1.5 hour long, because you're working harder.
Sufferfest videos are all pretty hardcore. Through the winter I normally use trainerroad.com and their base training plans, and save Sufferfest videos for special occassions like 20-minute FTP tests ;-)
- davidw 11y agoAre those videos that much better than, say, a Youtube video of the Ronde van Vlaanderen or something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmo7Z38fYEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmo7Z38fYEA I have a hamster wheel (err...indoor trainer) arriving tomorrow, and am hoping to get the most out of it by not getting completely and totally bored out of my skull with it. Zwift sounds like one option. Don't want to spend a ton, though...
- nl 11y agoYes, Sufferfest are better. They are pretty structured, and have enough humor to make the suffering somewhat bearable. Trainer workouts are boring enough you want to keep them short and hard. I think you can get (some of?) the Sufferfest videos free if you have a premium Strava account.
