I use Coach troy's Spinervals DVDs but I have also heard good things about Sufferfest.

Use a "hard as you can go" effort that you can hold for all 10.<br /><br />10 mins cool-down.<br /><br />this is just over 45 minutes. Trainer time should be short but more intense. The intervals will make the time seem like it's going faster. From here you can try different sets of intervals.<br /><br />As to headphones:<br /><br />http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Yurbuds+-+Ironman+Series+Headphones+-+Black/3213146.p?id=1218430892710&skuId=3213146&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=3213146&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!22278234874!g!!6892553434&gclid=CIWGhvmZu7QCFWrZQgod3UQA1Q<br /><br />Not the least expensive but man oh man they are miles ahead of anything out there until you get to pro-grade super expensive ear-in systems.Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660670497459217612.post-30192080355935888762012-12-27T10:47:58.550-06:002012-12-27T10:47:58.550-06:00I bought a pair of over the ear headphones from Ta...I bought a pair of over the ear headphones from Target for $20 or so - with a 20' cord, I can easily reach the dvd player, my preferred distraction on the trainer.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660670497459217612.post-36494090958991739572012-12-27T09:30:16.128-06:002012-12-27T09:30:16.128-06:00personally I love the trainer. an hour of pedaling...personally I love the trainer. an hour of pedaling is an hour of pedaling, so for me it serves its purpose. I bought some cheap wireless headphones that attach to my TV so I can watch anything DVR'd and not have to have it up loud enough to raise the dead. The trainer is convenient for my weekday rides.Jfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112629068602038293noreply@blogger.com
