Turbo training

Is it just me or are turbo sessions the work of the devil and just designed to inflict misery and suffering upon the poor helpless rider?
Weather has been naff so been doing some interval work, after 10 mins i today i nearly said stuff it and go out on the road instead.

Only good bit apart from the hour long work out was my psp can see the wifi connection in the garage so i can get all my music and video via the PS3 to help pass the time.

Which trainer do you use out of interest? I'm thinking of getting one for this coming winter...

Matteh, check the online auction site. You can probably pick up a turbo trainer for not much money at all.

They are very boring in use though!

Cycleops Magneto. Very stable unit. Nice and quiet as well. No way to alter the resistance, but it does it for you as you go down the gears, easy to spin in low gears, and hard work in high gears.
Got one to use when i cant get out on the road. The training plan im following has turbo session alternatives for road stuff,so if weather is dire i can do a turbo session.
