Now that cold weather is coming, the smart trainer has emerged as a great training tool for cyclists. Thanks to Bkool, you can enjoy a great cycling experience with the most realistic cycling simulator on the planet. But how can you get the most out of training on the smart trainer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indoor training is not every cyclist’s best friend, but it has become an efficient and effective way to “get your homework done.” If done correctly, it can not only be fun, but just a few sessions a week will be enough to give you huge leaps in performance. So, here are a few tips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We all have days when it’s hard to get on the bike even when a friend is waiting for us, so you can imagine how hard it can be to climb on the trainer when all that awaits us is pure suffering (or worse yet, boredom). Having a plan and being aware of the importance of sticking to it is the best inoculation against inertia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seek\u00a0the help of a coach\u00a0<\/strong>to program your schedule. Having specific sessions planned with defined goals (short sets, recovery, tempo)\u00a0is key to strengthening your commitment to training.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, you may not take advantage of the time on the trainer, or you might just end up skipping the session altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interval training is one of the best tools for maximizing your training. Leave the long, boring rides for the weekends – it’s a challenge to endure two or three hours on the trainer. However,\u00a0for specific workouts, such as interval training, there’s nothing like a smart trainer.<\/strong> The ideal option for staying engaged and making the most of your time is a well-structured session of <\/strong>no longer than 60 minutes \u2013 specifically one designed to test power and heart rate with a few intervals. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPlan ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
