I think the most important thing is to find the setup which keeps you entertained.cyclotaur wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 5:50 pmSlight thread hijack.
I understand generally how the world of smart trainers works, but I’m currently using a dumb trainer and my own power meter/hrm to try to follow simple workouts, mostly in Sufferfest. I would consider following pre-loaded routes on say Fulgaz as well if I had a smart trainer.
I have the opportunity to acquire a barely used WahooKickr Gen 1 for around $700. Is this a good buy or should i consider something else around that price ?
Interested in views....
Thanks.
I've tried Zwift and found the races to be the best workout possible.. no other workout indoor/outdoor has made me want to throw up.
The training plans are also pretty good..
The issue I had with Zwift races was I had to do a warmup before hand.. I don't have the discipline to do a warm up in zwift.. its just too boring.
Fulgaz on the other hand, I can't get enough of. With apple TV connected to our big TV I'm riding throughout the world in high definition.. its awesome. I can't push myself as hard though.. I just get lazy and enjoy the view.
Fulgaz has training plans which I'm now getting into, and once its on erg mode then I'm back in the hurt locker which is good.
Gen 1 Wahoo Kickr must be getting pretty old now? For only a couple hundred $ more, I'd recommend getting a new JetBlack Volt. I've had no issues with it and its an aussie company.
