Reviewing YOUR Pain Caves | ZWIFT and indoor trainer setups

Huge thanks to my SUBSCRIBERS that sent me their indoor trainer set ups. Here they are, with my feedback.......and don't forget, I am an expert in nothing so don't take anything I say too seriously!
Whether you are using Zwift, Trainerroad, Sufferfest or just pedaling along.....these all get the JOB DONE!

    Hi, Thomas here from the first pain cave. Don‘t worry, I am allowed to leave the attic. Too bad that there was no official ranking. With the treadmill, the hole puncher and no cat or wall tattoo I should have been above average! 😂

    Superbly entertaining. But more than that, handled by the host of this KZread channel with a fundamental decency and respect that is sorely lacking from all too much of Social Media. This video made me like my fellow indoor cyclists in general, and Mark Lewis in particular, that much more. Thanks guys. Looking forward to future instalments.

    To Laurissa's headwind fan: I would have never spent the money on that fan. How could a fan be worth that much? Well, my favorite person in the world bought me one and I can no longer picture life without it. It lives on the heartrate based setting and it's amazing. Not only does it cool me more when I'm hurting, but the billowing wind when you feel like you're going to die really helps you dig in a little deeper.

Fans were in the room, just hidden from photo. Happy I was forgiven when you showed the blue (nemo ) room. I don't run, but willing to watch you and maybe get inspired to do so.

    The table with cupholders is a Lifeline table from Wiggle. It's great and I love it. DC rainmaker reviewed it. It is different brand in the DC review but it is sold in the States under another brand. Lifeline is lot cheaper than the Wahoo. My advise get the Wahoo fan as you know you will eventually buy it. Just tell the girlfriend/wife that it cost GBP75. Would love to see more of the pain cave videos. Great videos Mark. They bring a big smile to my face before I go training. Please keep them coming.

But as I say great video, keep up the good work I love your stuff!👍

    That was proper Laugh out Loud video Mark - thank you! Once we are out of lockdown you must follow up with a Tour de Pain Caves - please start with Charles as there is so much more we need to know about how he got agreement for the setup next to his bed! Can I ask a question re LED lighting? I think Anthony’s setup is good - LED the way forward and can get you in the right mood. I have hooked up my LED’s to Zwift - basically my 1 min avg power vs. my FTP drives the colour - which sounds great but the room getting increasing red as I go deeper into the red isn’t necessarily a great motivator. Can you think of any way variable colour LED’s can help train/race? Thank you and keep up the great work!
