Three trainer sessions that are not boring

I resisted an indoor trainer for years. Then came a winter with eleven rainy weekends in a row.

1. The pyramid

One, two, three, four, three, two, one minutes hard, with equal easy spinning between. It passes surprisingly fast.

2. Cadence ladder

Five minutes each at 80, 90, 100 and 110 rpm with the same light resistance. Good for smooth pedalling.

3. The long podcast

Sixty minutes easy with a good podcast. Not every session has to hurt.
