More information:
Turbo is a great way of keeping legs turning and lungs working over the winter months whilst improving technique, endurance, strength and lactate tolerance before the start of the race season. Sessions will run in a progressive programme through until Spring. Since you ride at your own pace, its easy to accommodate riders of all ages and abilities. No one is left behind!

Sessions last 60 - 75 minutes and typically comprise of a 15 minute warmup, some drills and technique work, two main sets of specific efforts and a cool-down. We will also do a Sufferfest video every few weeks.
The MPC lab is a roomy, air-conditioned hall perfect for this sort of training. Showers are available in the nearby sports hall.
Attendees are advised to use the small car park between MPC and the astro-turf pitch. Bikes and kit can be unloaded and brought in through the large firedoors at the rear of the building. Note that there is now a £1 charge for parking at the University.

There are turbo trainers available to borrow. Please contact me to book.

Suggested kit list:

    Bike - in reasonably clean condition
    Turbo trainer
    Riser block for front wheel
    Fan to keep cool
    Shorts, shoes, top
    Drinks bottle (water available)
    Heart rate monitor (extremely useful but not essential)
    A couple of towels to catch sweat one for you, one to cover the bike

I recommend a turbo-specific rear tyre if possible it will grip better and save tearing up a soft road tyre.
