Benefits
A turbo session involves riding your own bike whilst attached to a stationary turbo trainer, which has a number of benefits:

• constant conditions (not wet and cold)
• controllable levels of effort - great for interval trianing
• traffic-free training- no cars to knock you off
• focus on physical conditioning, rather than bike-handling skills
• ability to focus on pedalling technique and cadence
• different abilities can train together

Equipment
To participate in these session you will need the following:

• Bike - make sure it is clean for use in the sports hall
• Turbo Trainer
• Front wheel block / riser
• Turbo Training Mat if you have one
• Sweat cover - if you don't have one of these bring a spare towel to drape over your handlebars and headset - sweat does nasty things to a bike
• Bike shoes
• Towel for wiping away the sweat from yourself and the floor after the session - it will get hot - you will sweat and you will be expected to leave the area where you train in a clean condition at the end of each session.

Although not compulsory you will benefit more from these sessions if you have:

• a heart rate monitor; and
• a cadence sensor fitted to your bike

Signup
To participate in a turbo session Club members must sign up via the calendar - there is a limit of 15 places to comply with insurance.
