hi guys,
does anyone have idea on how riding indoors on a trainer at 21 degrees C room temperature without any cooling correlate to something say lava-hot conditions?
thanks,
Hello Jaakko,
As I ponder your question, I thought of 2 things:
- On the trainer at 21C, the warm environment will force you to consume liquid so that you do not dehydrate too quickly. That’s a good habit, right?
- You can experiment with the help of a scale to see how much weight you lose per a certain period of time at various effort levels. This way, you will know more exactly how much fluid you need to consume.
It sounds like a fun torture session. Enjoy!
I was expecting you to tell us how cold it was in Finland. 
Most of the winter I ride outside here in Birmingham, Alabama. Yesterday was 12 degrees, not bad, long sleeve jersey, no gloves.
This morning is 0, and snowing, but it’s not sticking to road. I’m going to head out on my cross bike.
I think your heat training will work well if you are trying to get ready for a hot race.
Terve, Harri
all I know is that indoor riding without cooling makes things hot, a lot of sweat and just impossible to not lose water during training.
some combo-workouts are quite fun when you go from hot indoor ride to a transition run at -15C!
