I have recently got hold of a Tacz flow turbo, which has a monitor allowing me to see HR/Watts/Cadence and speed.
I have read a lot about training to power/watt, does anyone have any advice on this area and any turbo sessions that may be useful.

I too am concidering buying one...your review would be appreciated.
Although its the only turbo trainer I've had I would recommend it!
However the power output it says isnt very accurate and can be upto 30% out.... each one is different...
Mine is approx 50W out compared to a wattbike or Powertap
A friend of mines is 90W out compared to her Powertap.
But if yu only use it for training then you can still compare it to a previous ride done on there etc.
here are some sessions you can do:
Session 1
15min warm up
1 min max 1 min easy
2 min max 2 min easy
3 min max 3 min easy
4 min max 3 min easy
5 min max 3 min easy
6 min max 3 min easy
7 min max
15 min cool down
Session 2
15 min warm up
15s sprint 15s spin x 3
1 min easy spin
15s sprint 15s spin x 5
1 min easy spin
15s sprint 15s spin x 7
1 min easy spin
15s sprint 15s spin x 9
1 min easy spin
15s sprint 15s spin x 11
1 min easy spin
15s sprint 15s spin x 13
15 min cool down
Give them a go.....
they are mainly designed for short to medium distance time trialists, but can obviously be used for triathletes and road racers.
I used the red book and his "passport to speed video
try ebay or amazon.
