| 'A VALUED TRAINING TOOL - ESP' IN THE WINTER' |  | Strengths:
I have had mine for one winter, and it's proved a good, sturdy, reliable bit of training hardware. I have not used the resistance gear on it, I find it hard enough work as it is!
Personally, I have a metronome that keeps me at 90 pedals per minute and the HR monitor goes to 160 bpm = 90% my HR max as a 42 yr old, and I give it 20 - 30 mins at this level.
There is no reprieve, you can't slow up, you can't free-wheel, you can't escape the relentless pace. It's hard at that level, and I get off the bike soaked, but it's very cathartic and goes a long way to getting the fitness levels up to a decent level (I hope!).
