Since I got my 800 minutes in December, I think I will see if I can start the year with 900 minutes on my trainer. If I can find my BT speed/cadence sensor, I may put a distance measure in there, but it seems to be hiding from me.
January 1st 0 minutes. I am just too tired after not getting to sleep until 4:30AM and then waking up at 9AM.2 -

Hello everyone,

I'm back from the December challenge! I'm still on a trainer, but I do get mileage logged from it, so will be reporting miles. I'm The training program I'm on is ending next week, and a new one starts after that, so I'm going to be mildly conservative and aim for 300 miles. Today was a good start for it, and since Sunday is my reporting day for this, here we go:

Trying to stick to my Trainer Road plan. I have a hard time staying focused on indoor rides longer than an hour. How does everyone here avoid boredom?

I wish I had distance measure with my trainer. If I could just find my BT speed and cadence sensor. It came off early in the summer, and I put it in a "good" place since I don't need it outside since my Moov Now will measure cadence and distance and speed are handled by the app using GPS. Now I am back to indoor training, it would be nice to have the distance, albeit, it isn't really the same as the distance outside.0 -

So I have motivation this time - I've put my name down for a 40 mile charity bike ride in mid-March, which is quite ambitious by my standards, and the first time I've ever attempted one. It will take some preparation, but I'm up for it!
Slow start this month, but
1 Jan 12km indoor
4 jan 20.24km Burghfield village ave 15.6kmh gain 104m

I built a stand that holds my laptop that straddles my front wheel. I watch Netflix sometimes. I watch youtube video of cycling rides. Youtube also has interval videos that mixes it up by going all out then backing off.
Sometimes I just crank to Pandora workout music with a good beat.
I have challenged myself to watch an entire nfl football game. If there playing I'm riding. Commercials or halftime I stop and get a drink and rest.
good luck and glad to see your in the challenge
