Agreed, you can't do high-resistance low-cadence stuff like you can on a turbo.
But you can do high-cadence/medium cadence stuff using your gears and you can work on technique, getting your pedal-stroke smooth rather than 'pedalling squares', and single-leg drills.

Relatively little standing up , it's just 4x 15 pieces at varying resistance and cadence.
Anything trying to simulate out-of-saddle type efforts or really high resistance at low cadence is out of the question at the moment.
I'd suggest work that doesn't vary by huge amounts around threshold to begin with.

The Tacx resistance unit won't fit my Tacx rollers as they're too old - and cost somehat less than the resistance unit alone costs...
Actually, I rather like the idea of those (Kreitler I think ?) where there's a band which drives a big fan which blows cold air into your face
