If you could have a smart trainer OR a power meter and a dumb trainer, which would you choose? That is the question that sparked this episode.
Our athletes do a lot of training indoors, especially in the fall and winter. For most, it's a matter of pure convenience. For some fair weather riders, well, it's the less fair weather that drives them to the turbo. No one really get's into cycling or triathlon to train inside all the time, but when it comes down to getting in the work or not, you can't deny the efficiency and ease of training in your own little house of pain.
So in this episode Coach D and Coach B-Fun chat about the different types of indoor trainers, some pros and cons of both smart and "dumb" trainers, and run through several different aspects of choosing the right trainer for your needs.
