hi fellow STers,
i currently have a tri bike (P3) and am training for a full IM next year. I have completed 2 70.3s on it.
99% of my rides are indoors on the trainer and i still manage to carry out a long ride of about 2.5 hours a week indoors. However i cant imagine spending 3+ to 4 hours every week on a trainer.
I have roadbike as well and i was thinking of doing my weekday 1h rides on a trainer on the tri bike and the weekend long ride on the roadie. However my roads are not safe enough to go on a tri bike outside.
Would it be better to suck it up and spend the 4 hours indoor on the tri bike? Or would the crossover training from long rides on the roadbike be almost as effective as being on the p3?
