Golden Cheetah. Wow, that's one I haven't thought about in a long time. Wonder if my 2008 MacBook Pro still runs it.

As far as cost for my trainer road + videos setup
- $22/month for trainer road (usually only subscribe 4-5 months of the year so roughly $100)
- already owned the kickr
- already own a tv + roku/appleTV
- already subscribe to streaming services
- already have an iphone/ipad for running trainer road app

So I guess I spend about $100/year to train indoors. The effort to use a 10 year old computer/tablet and download GB of content to then navigate and play each time I am gonna ride indoors is not worth the $100 savings. Riding indoors sucks enough - I gotta remove as many obstacles/excuses as possible.

You can pick individual workouts in TR - just pick something that has a 45 min tempo block in the middle.

Good point on blocks in TR…

But I’ve grown to like the visuals on the climbs in Fulgaz. Silly I know, but for years I would mark the arrival of December with Gibraltar Rd. And trick myself to ride a certain gear (or cadence) when doing old favorites. I figure I’ll try the same approach to Rouvy once I get spun up on how best to use it.
