Let's see your paincave!

Picked up a cheap TV on Black Friday and made a big push to reorganize my setup over the past two weeks.

If I had that much room and ceiling height, there’d be a golf simulator in there too!

Oh there is. Not, like, one with the whole radar launch thing, but a net and piece of turf to hit off of.

What’s the brand or manufacturer of this cabinet? Looks neat.

Vadolibero - but be warned. It is best to be seated and not drink hot liquids during googling the MSRP…
:+1: :joy:

I’m loving the symmetry you’ve achieved. My OCD is so happy!!

With the illuminated, coloured keyboard, this is the type of setup I’d imagine Daft Punk or Kraftwerk to be using :grinning:

Won’t those big screens make intervals look longer? :grin: I still want one though.

I don’t have that big a laptop but I find it a bigger motivator when I can accurately judge a long interval, what I’ve done and how long I’ve got to stick it out for :joy:

But the yellow power/progress line moves faster, too!

No issues with TR on Surface Pro 4? I’m running Zwift on ATV, but will begin TR in January and was hoping SP4 would be sufficient.

Can you follow a session on this treadmill like on a turbo, ie, it adjusts speed according to a set session?

Not that I am aware of. I suppose you could follow by HR or RPE, or by using Stryd (measure power while running), and sort of follow a cycling plan for running. Sounds suboptimal at the very best.

TR for running is an idea @Nate_Pearson could comment on, perhaps?

Some existing discussion, but nothing concrete:

Thanks. I was wondering if you could programme it for, for example, something like 8x800m and it would self adjust to a certain pace.

I didn’t mean following a tr session, just a prescribed running session.

With a better trainer (smart trainer), multiple fans, a rocker plate, a dedicated table , etc indoor training becomes much more tolerable and even fun

Goes a long way. On days where you WANT to workout, then it’s just a bonus, but on days where you’re really borderline? It’s nice to have fewer barriers to entry. People can say HTFU all they want; I fully support the idea of making your training space as nice as possible. Building positive associations and actually WANTING to do it is always going to be a better long term solution than ‘dealing with it,’ if you have a choice.

Run both TR and Zwift on surface pro 4 without an issues, have done for years . Do have a usb fan from power supply pointing at back of Pro4 to prevent any chance of CPU throttling. Also have a usb hub connected for both ant+ dongles, one for each application.

Thanks! I’ll give it a go soon, and good tip on the fan. SP4 does get hot quickly.

For those looking for an upgrade desk, the Lifeline/Rad turbo desks seem to be in stock with some UK retailers.

They have been out of stock for a while! I’ve been looking new/second hand for ages.

Wiggle/Chain reaction also have them but £15-20 more.

Got that one from chain reaction a while ago and works well and good price also.
