Base miles supposedly form a rock solid base so that intense training can be piled on. With that in mind, I have switched to primarily zone 4 two a days, minimum an hour each. Core and weights in addition.

My problem is my damn arse hates the trainer. I can ride outside on my toupe for 6+ hours but on the trainer, especially at low intensity, I get real uncomfortable after about an hour.

Psimet suggested getting an Specialized Alias and it is better (similar to the toupe but a little softer). I'm thinking I need to htfu.

ps
I think I have learned not to hate the trainer?

Did I just say that?
