It seems as if winter is starting to take hold of Chicago and with that means indoor training sessions...they don't have to be boring though! Riding on a trainer, or running on a treadmill can suck...but it doesn't have to! And why do you have to be restricted to a trainer? Riding on rollers can help pass the time faster, improve your pedaling stroke, and add an element of danger to riding indoors.
Here are a few ideas to think about when training indoors:

Here are a few ideas to think about when training indoors:
- Bike/run/bike/run/bike brick...yes you read that right. Ride for an alotted period of time, followed by running on the treadmill for an alotted period of time...and repeat. Something that is fun to do as well is to increase the effort of the workout as time goes on.
- Track workouts on the treadmill. This is great because you set the pace, run for the distance and boom...you're done. No cheating, no thinking...sounds good to me.
- Tabata Sprints on your trainer...after a nice warm up go 20 seconds all out, 40 seconds off...and repeat 6-10 times. Crazy hard, but a great use of a short period of time.
- When you're training indoors it's a great time to work on your efficiency, so don't forget to hit up those pedaling drills!
