So many people get all whacky with workouts in the winter time, thinking everything has to revolve around watts, and paces, and pace clocks. I really think that sometimes that deters people from getting all of their sessions in. You are less likely to complete a session as written if you don't have the confidence that day to complete it as you're supposed to. So for those days where you're motivated enough to train, but not motivated enough to stare at a power read out here is one for you which you can modify how ever you see fit.
This can be done on the rollers or on a trainer (I prefer rollers most of the time).
10' easy spin in your easiest gear *yes the small chain ring, your EASIEST gear
4' in your big ring and smallest gear (make sure you're not cross chaining though)
1' in your biggest gear
4' one gear harder than the previous 4 minutes
1' in your biggest gear
You see the pattern here. Depending on time you can go all the way down your cassette and back up, or vary this how you see fit. The bottom line is that you're doing some honest work without having to stare at a power meter...and the time flies by too.
