Hi all, I haven’t gone out on the road for about a month now and I’m really tired of sitting on the trainer for my workouts. Tomorrow is going to be ideal for riding outdoors, but my workout is 5 sets of 30-30s :sob:. Given that these are anaerobic/neuromuscular efforts, would you rather do them …

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I’m pretty much dying by the end of each set with full on tunnel vision and shaky arms on the final set. If I could get to an isolated parking lot or road, I’d feel much safer.

I just did Taylor -2 up Tunnel Rd (Oakland/Berkeley, if you’re unfamiliar) last week. Very doable, but don’t try to turn around between individual intervals, wait for the long rest between sets.

Thanks! I know of tunnel road, but I haven’t been that route before. If I go out it’s usually around Highland and Livermore.

you could also do your 30/30s on the trainer and then go for a ride :smiley:

Not sure exactly where that is, but if it’s near Ohlone wilderness area I thought people ride out Tesla to Mines? IDK, I’m usually driving from Sac to South Bay.

Definitely on the road! However, if you do them inside, make sure you do them on resistance mode and not ERG mode!

That’s true and I haven’t been out to that area yet, might check it out when I can actually ride outside.

Yep, no way I can do neuromuscular efforts on ERG, it’s much easier than doing them on resistance so they skew my results.

30-30s on the trainer or on the road?

I did Taylor -2 outdoors yesterday. There were some challenges, but it was sort of fun. My main problem was running out of room (stop sign, traffic light, etc.) in the middle of a interval.
