Hi folks,
I recently came into possession of a relatively new Tacx Satori Smart trainer and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to make the most of it. I've been cycling for 25 years, competing in tri for 2, and have a Standard distance race in the fall that I'm targeting to hit at peak fitness.
On one hand I'm ok with just jumping on with my old bike, throwing some aerobars on and cranking away for a few hours a week. But I'm a numbers guy, and would like to take advantage of TrainerRoad or similar to try and keep my training structured and trackable. If I go down this route however, I will be tempted into speed/cadence/power sensors as I'm starting from the stone age technically-speaking. Are they all really necessary?
I can ride 200km+ in a day no problem but something tells me if I want to do 40km at 35-40kph I'm going to have to focus my training and perhaps this is the opportunity I need.
Thoughts?
Thanks
