With the help of Garmin & Tacx we take a look at a range of indoor training setups to suit a range of budgets...which one would you choose? Sponsored
There’s an old truism in cycling, which goes something along the lines of: your performance in summer is the result of your training in the winter. While you may have no big goals on the immediate horizon at the moment, every mile you put in your legs now will have an effect when the season reaches its sharp end.
By setting up a home training option, you can get serious mileage in without battling the weather. In fact, indoor bike training has a lot going for it: you can carry on using your normal bike, so there’ll be no issues about unfamiliarity, poor bike fit or bad habits; you can schedule it into your lifestyle exactly when you want; and because turbo training is so predictable, you can really focus on following some structured training programmes that might otherwise by hampered by road conditions.
However, it’s the Garmin speed sensor and its ability to be paired with any one of a range of compatible apps that really makes this a static cycling tour de force. All you need is a smart device and by using the speed from your rear wheel, the apps – we used Tacx’s own– can then estimate your power output. And with that knowledge, you can really start developing your cycling.
