For those of us who are forced indoors when the ice and snow come, have you had real success training primarily through zwift or other indoor training programs? What do you think was the key to your gains? Tell me your story.

I’ve got my trainer set up in the basement and will be doing a ramp test this week. Looking to make as big an FTP improvement by Spring as possible.

Agreed. Love a good snow hike. However the past few years have resulted in fewer snowfalls and more cold dreary and icy conditions where I live.
