Trainer Set Up: Wheel Height
While many cyclists dread the indoor training season, ensuring proper bike set up will make any workout more comfortable and enjoyable. A trainer elevates the back of the bike upwards a couple of inches. In order to ensure a comfortable position, make sure the bike is level. Lift your front wheel using a riser block to make up the height difference. This will ensure a more comfortable feel when riding the bike along with alleviating some of the pressure from the change in position. You can also elevate the front wheel to get an additional training effect. Lift the front wheel 4-6 inches to simulate a climb.

Trainer Set Up: TV Placement
Indoor training can sometimes get monotonous and using a TV to supplement your workouts will take away some of that monotony. You can also use the TV to view some of your favorite workout videos. While setting up your bike is important, proper TV placement is equally important to ensure comfort and prevent any soreness or kinks in your neck. Set the TV at a spot consistent to where you would be looking when you are in a normal cycling position. This may involve lowering the TV from the current position. Also, keep the remote with you to prevent any disruptions during the workout.

Trainer Set Up: Cooling
While riding indoors, maintaining your core temperature is very important to prevent overheating and dehydration. Riding outdoors allows the wind to evaporate sweat, which acts as a natural cooling system. When you are indoors, you still sweat and your body no longer has the benefits of natural wind and airflow to help evaporate the wetness and cool you down. Setting a fan up for your workouts is a great way to compensate for the lack of airflow with indoor riding while providing additional cooling. Place the fan in front and off to the side of you. This will help prevent your from sweating too much and prevent dehydration.

Fueling During Exercise
As with hydration, fueling your body before, during and after workouts is as important during indoor training as it is with outdoor training. Three to four hours prior to your workout, you should take in 1.5-2.25 grams of carbohydrate/kilogram body weight. This means a 73 kg (161 lbs) person should consume 110-165 grams of carbohydrate. In terms of calories, this would be 440-660 calories. During your workout, you should be consuming 30-60 grams carbohydrate per hour. The exact amount depends on your body weight, the intensity of the exercise, and how long you are going to be working out. Smaller people and those working out at low intensity would be nearer to 30 grams, while larger people, or any size person working out very intensely, would be nearer the 60-gram level.

Recovery
The trainer is a great place to get a recovery ride in when conditions outside are less than favorable or nearby terrain does not accommodate an easy recovery ride. Active recovery is great for the day after a race or after a tough block of training, as it helps facilitate the recovery process by increasing blood and nutrient flow to the muscles and reducing soreness. A recovery ride should be done at a low intensity (you should be able to talk comfortably) with a cadence between 80-90 rpms. The ride can last anywhere between 30-120 minutes depending on your level of development, as well as the volume and intensity of your training/racing.
