Indoor ST pros -
As part of my training I do swim/cycle bricks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The route is always the same with varying efforts based on RPE, weather, etc. The ride is 40km on the dot, however due to traffic and other conditions outside of my control, my moving time is anywhere between 1:10:00 to 1:45:00.
I have never used a trainer before, and I just got one (a basic one). I don't want to get a less quality ride than I do during the week already. Can you train on a trainer by 'distance'?
Should I train by time?
Should I train by RPE or HR?
I will still be doing my long rides on the weekends on the road.
I don't have a power meter.
