(And for me...boredom sets in quick) You've ended up doing "junk laps" as you have not pushed yourself in any meaningful way.<br /> <br />If you hop on the bike trainer with no plan and just spin for X amount of time, the same problem occurs. Sure, you have "time in the saddle" and you've gotten the leg muscles involved but it's still junk miles. But if you have a structured workout--like sets of intervals at a defined power level--and there is a feedback loop showing your power, HR and speed, then the time goes by rather quickly and the boredom level drops drastically. <br />When things become measurable and repeatable it’s a lot more fun. <br />Oh, and Yanni? Seriously? Don’t you know that if you post something online, then it is there FOREVER and can be used against you for…again…FOREVER?
