After an hour and a half with mixed intervals I'm ready for the loony bin.
I also do single leg drills, high speed cadence work, and total failure efforts on the trainer, as it is safer than on the road. No worries about what's going on around you, or terrain changes that mess with effort.
I like the GCN workouts, and CTX has a few good ones too.
I just listen to music while pedaling along -- am ready for the looney bin, BTW. Eventually it's my ass that gives out.
Right now this is the only way I can accumulate the miles I want to keep aerobic base fitness increasing. Currently, I can ride in zone 2 at just under 20mph on the Kurt road machine, which is less boring that 17mph.
