Most workouts worth doing that will give you benefits are tough mentally. The challenge is to find what motivates you to be mentally tough and do it. For me that is a combination of The Sufferfest and LBS group spinclass, not together. Much better to teach yourself to concentrate on keeping it hard. There is really not much benefit from riding a trainer at an easy effort IMHO, unless you are doing so for far in excess of an hour at a time.
