Rouleur’s Rachel Jary has been isolating in a Milton Keynes hotel for ten days. Thankfully, Dad dropped off the Tacx smart trainer so she’s not gone completely nuts. What sessions has she been doing on the turbo? How did she keep motivated locked in a room eating dreadful food? And what Netflix series has she been binging? Dan Cavallari asks the big questions from the comfort of his garage in Colorado.

Digital editor Peter Stuart, meanwhile, mulls over the online options for virtual indoor training. Zwift is the big one currently, of course, but other players dipped their toes in the market over the last decade. A brief history of virtual training, and a gaze into the future as Wahoo launch their Systm app.
