1) Mary Cain op-ed in the New York Times. The discussion around racing weight
2) Smart Trainers vs. Old Trainers vs. Rollers and what to do inside
I wonder if you guys could discuss the pros and cons of smart trainers, regular wind trainers, and rollers for indoor cycling. For the past 4 years, I have used a plain old Kinetic stationary trainer– this experience is slightly improved by the fact that I can download workouts from Training Peaks created by my coach to my Garmin. I have been encouraged to join Zwift, but I am resisting for some reason. I enjoy pedaling along, following a workout, and simply listening to music or podcasts…but maybe I am missing out on all these technological advances that have been made of late? I’m curious to know what you guys think.
