Hi,
I've recently got my hands on a turbo trainer. I was wondering if any of you guys use any of the training Dvds available? If so which ones would you recommend? I was a bit put off by the Americanised titles from Spinervals! I think I'd rather do an hour silently, rather than with an American shouting jargon at me!!!

IMHO I would rather spend the same money on a good book that has many training programmes in it. The more you read, the more you know where you need a training focus and how often to do it/when to recover, etc. IMHO money well spent rather than one just 1 training DVD.
Save your money altogether and spend time online finding as much as possible about training.
I'm currently in week 5 of the Lance Armstorng Performance programme(Intermediate) and it's working. My base endurance is improving and in 2 weeks I'll be riding 1hr at tempo which currently is 235 watts(80% MHR). After 1 week off I'll start doing interval training.
I set the resistence really high and try to replicate what it would be like on the real climb adjusting the resistence accordingly, though it must be said a turbo can never compare to the real thing.
The only problem with the video I find is the motorcycle goes up the hill quite a bit faster than a bike would, overtaking many on the way, therfore I play the dvd at half or 3/4 speed.
Find them at probikekit.com but make shure you go for the 'video cycling' dvds, the 'real video' are intended for the I-magic trainers and won't work in a dvd player.
