I've done 3 at the most. 2 has been the norm the past few months. I prefer zero, but my body doesn't like temps any lower than 35F.

A person I work with used to train for 24-hour races and their coach gave them a plan to overcome the mental anguish of long-distance races by doing 6-8 continuous hours on the trainer. No thank you.

Haha, well that shows right there, 6-8 hours on the trainer = 24 hours on the road
