Those using turbos - new vid out
Posted this in the Training Status thread in road racing but thought I'd stick it here as well 'cos it's ace!
There are quite a few people who have used the sufferfest website on here (I got to know about it from this forum actually) but there was a new vid out today. It's dead good!
It has two lots of descending intervals (2 mins on, 2 mins recovery, 1.45 mins on, 1.45 mins off, down to 15 seconds on 15 off) hence, I assume, the 'Downward Spiral' title.
Startes off with some shaky helmet cam downhill MTB then the warm up is at a crit race with a couple of efforts. Then the intervals begin, the name sufferfest really lives up to it's name!
The first set of intervals has footage from Paris Roubaix and the second from Fleche Wallone and it's done really well. The recovery reverts to the crit. The bit in between the two sets is some mellow singletrack.
It's bang on an hour including warm up and cool down. Poifick!
The music is fine, I'm not a big rock fan but it's actually ok. I believe the next vid will feature some electronic beat music!
The on screen comments and encouragement work well although they started out a bit cheesy
PS for those interested in power, despite the fact there is a warm up, cool down and quite a bit of recovery time, my normalised power was within 1 watt of what my threshold is set as. No wonder I wanted to throw up during the intervals!!

I use these too and was dissapointed to not see any since last fall.
What I fin really odd though is if you go to the website he wants to charge, but it's available free on iTunes. Go figure...

I assume the charge is due to the licensing - the vids use 2009 Paris Roubaix and Fleche Wallone...
Got mine from the site, didn't know it was available on itunes!
Edit - just looked, it's just the 10 minute preview on iTunes...
