Double duty – a week of workouts in the world of me
www.dcrainmaker.com/2009/02/double-duty-week-of-workouts-in-world.htmlI also finished up the day with a short midnight mile run to recalibrate my recently returned Garmin 305, and then did a short trainer ride in an unsuccessful attempt to fix an issue with the CompuTrainer.Tuesday: Normally the snow and freezing rain would have thrown my usual Tuesday run for a bit of a loop.

Wattbike Proton Smart Bike In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/09/wattbike-proton-smart-bike-in-depth-review.htmlThis hails back from the CompuTrainer days (or at least, that’s the first time I ever saw it), and is often shown by companies to demonstrate that they have higher-speed data coming from the pedals/resistance unit.
Tacx Flux Trainer In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/12/tacx-flux-trainer-depth-review.htmlThat wording is actually somewhat funny, because if one applied the same ‘rules’ to something like the well-known CompuTrainer, they’d find virtually the same thing.

Timex Cycle Trainer 2.0 GPS In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/06/timex-cycle-trainer-20-gps-in-depth.htmlI’m on a trainer, which means the data is inherently even more stable than outdoors, further, it’s a CompuTrainer – so the wattage is actually hard-set, meaning that the only fluctuations are pretty minimal.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/10/friday-tidbits-first-garmin-fr910xt.htmlLast but not least, on the list of things arriving – I’ve finally (almost) got the TACX trainer (it’s just like a CompuTrainer…but with fancier software and full ANT+ compatibility).
