Slowman can certainly answer better than I, but I don't believe he intended for his advice to be interpreted to mean run fast all the time. You should mix in some easy recovery runs.

I mix my winter bike trainer between rollers, indoor trainer, and getting outside whenever its feasible.

Rollers one or two times each week for 60 min. This is just spinning and form, its mindless, but if you do it enough you can ride no handed. I've heard of some people riding rollers in their aerobars....never me.

Indoor trainer two to three times per week. I do intervals on my trainer, or just spin. CTS TT workout is a good one. Get the hill training one as well. Prop your front wheel up about six inches so that you can simulate a hill geometry. When I'm spinning and not watching a training video, I watch movies or sports.

Outside training is when the sun is out, the wind is relatively calm, and there is little snow or ice on the roads. With these conditions at 25 degrees F, I can last up to three hours if I dress properly. Typically I ride my CX bike or what I refer to as my ugly yellow bike (1992 Trek 1200). I have 700x28c tires on the Trek and that is fine for winter conditions. Don't expect to hit speeds as you do when you are riding in a normal kit as your additional clothing will add drag.

Good luck
