What to watch during indoor recovery rides

Postby Herbsman » Sun May 29, 2011 12:04 pm

I don't need anything to watch during indoor training because there's no way I could pay attention to a TV programme while riding at high intensity. But indoor recovery rides are so gentle they get a bit tedious and I would like something to watch while I'm doing them. Does anyone have any recommendations? Youtube playlists or whatever really, something 30 mins to an hour long.

Why do you do recovery rides indoors? I do a lot of training on my test bike, but I only do very specific high intensity interval training because of the benefits of a controlled environment. Recovery rides doesn't need this, and they are generally quite nice breaks from the intense training, so I always do these outside. Also, riding anything but hard indoors is so boring no distraction is enough 8)

But to get back to the main issue, I go through a lot of TV programmes when training. Right now I'm watching Babylon 5, which seems to go on forever. Usually not a fan of SF, but this works although it's a bit silly sometimes :) Anything with a lot of action seems to work fine for me. I guess what doesn't make you bored to death is quite individual as well.
