Hi All, first post, so sorry if this has been raised previously. BAsically, wondering if I get a bigger/better fan, my performance on the indoor trainer will improve? I’ve got a small rehcargable fan, which attaches to my Wattbike. It does the job, but when I’m doing a longish sweetspot effort I …

I don’t think people realise (until they get something with some power) how much of a difference it will make.

Welcome. See the topic covered here: [image] Looking for cooling fan recommendations Equipment Couldn’t see a post related to fans so apologies if there is one, please point me to it. If there’s not then what fans can you recomend for someone who needs a decent bit of co…

Yes for sure if you subtract the overhead that cooling imposes, your numbers will improve.

A core temp sensor? Like, erm, up the :peach:?!

No this one [image] CORE Body Temperature Sensor The CORE sensor is the first non-invasive device that continuously and accurately measure Core Body Temperature under real-life conditions. For athletes who are serious about their performance as well as their health and well-being. …

Two Air Movers (Vacmaster) in my unheated shed even this time of year. One on the floor blasting up, and then one torso height. I can reach the switched socket for the one on the floor, and can reach the torso height fan itself. The only thing that changes by intensity is the torso aimed fan setting…

I used to do all of my VO2max workouts outdoors because I could put out better numbers. Now I have 2 hugely powerful Lasko-like fans (more powerfull than the Laskos) and can hit my marks indoors too. N=1, but for me bigger fans = way lower RPE = better numbers (I can‘t flog myself at max. RPE forev…

Lol, I used to have two large fans in my pain corridor (an 18inch gym fan and a 16inch remote control pedestal fan) but in my temporary pain cave I have only a 9 inch floor/desk fan. I have just ordered another to see if I can eek out another watt.
