My legs are ok with it but my mind says "Shift you jerk, let's get going!"
This happens to me quite frequently when I am listening to music that is 125 beats per minute... I end up with a higher cadence..... This would be old time Disco, or rock 'n roll.
I have to force myself to slow my cadence down so I don't burn out too fast.
Remember a mile on the trainer is worth two on the road as you can't coast while riding the trainer.
