Hi Graeme.

Taking on Eddy Merckx … wow that’s brave! But, being an indoor trainer user (and a listener of your podcasts) I know that you’re right; indoor trainer sessions can be as valuable riding miles. Recovering from significant injury sustained a year ago I’ve had to do many indoor miles to get back to fitness. The secret is to target HIT sessions - The sessions you advocate. I ride for 60 minutes at a time and vary the routines.

Off the bike I use power breathing routines with flex exercises to build stability.

All of these sessions have and continue to work well for me.

My message (to add to yours)? If a 51 year old at 1.78m can maintain 65 kgs, kick-up his fitness and ride more strongly HIT sessions on an indoor trainer DO WORK.

Ride on.

Julian
