I use a single floor based multi speed fan by Vornado positioned directly in front of the front tire. It is angled upwards so it blows cool air head-on similar to actual riding. It is more than adequate. Part of the conditioning is to tolerate elevated body temp, otherwise when it’s time ride outdoors during hot weather it is a shock to the system. To be fair, I’m in a cold weather state (CO) and in the winter the pain cave is 60F. In addition to the fan I also drape one of those towels that has the water absorbing dots in it, across the back of my neck. Every 10 mins I sit up and wave it a few times and it recools itself. I keep this on during the treadmill run that follows during a brick session. It’s incredible how well it works to control heat build up.
I knew a pro cyclist (who also raced in hot and humid conditions) that would train in a tiny pain cave with the biggest, coldest window unit air conditioner known to man, and with 5 fans to distribute the cooling.
Makes you think... 🤔
