Has anyone seen a Trainerroad workout that simulates the full IM Frankfurt course? I’ve seen a few made for other IM’s, but none of them (that I know exist) shows up on the search tool so I assume they’re private/hidden or something.
Not a TrainerRoad workout, but a good one for IM Frankfurt is to grab your bike and violently shake it. Whatever falls off or rattles needs some extra reinforcing ahead of The Hell cobblestone sector. Works wonders for your core and means you won’t lose vital nutrition, computers or tools on the bike.
Other than that, it’s ye olde gently-rolling course. A bit of cornering skill in the tighter village turns will do you a lot more good than the precise gradients. Nothing’s really steep on that course, the “Chickenberg” as the locals call it is barely an incline, and “Heartbreak Hill” is really only a hill.
TrainerRoad is flat out ridiculous for $8.33/month for an annual membership. It really takes almost any bike fitness excuse out of the equation, either you do the work or you don’t. Awesome tool!!!
