Best method for TT training?
In your opinion(s), what is the best way to do time trial workouts on the trainer?
By cadence (maintain a particular cadence while moving gears around to maintain an optimal heartrate, increasing the cadence as ability increases)?
By gear ratio (pick a gear ratio which works best for a rider style and pump away at variable cadences to maintain an optimal heartrate, increasing the ratio as ability increases)?
Other?
Thanks

I've found Chris Carmichael's TrainRight DVDs very helpful - one with "Power Intervals" came with my trainer. Basically you warm up and then go 5 minutes as hard as possible, 5 minutes of rest, 3 or 4 times through. I enjoyed also that they had clips of Lance TT'ing mixed in.
I'm sure there are a number of othe good DVDs from Spinervals as well, but have no experience with those.
