After riding the trainer inside yesterday for 70 minutes (20 min mid to low cadence threshold, with a bit of recovery followed by 10 min of standing in the 53x12). It was 67°F or so inside, plenty hot and sweaty. With Joe Lindsey's article still fresh in my mind, and needing to get the car spot shoveled before my wife got home I figured - what better way to get the body's core temp back down than shoveling. I did put the baselayer on (only wear it until I warm up inside). It was pretty effective, 10-15 min of shoveling snow while it was snowing in the 20°F weather helped switch from the catabolic phase, and hopefully into the anabolic phase.
The neighbor down the street was running his new snow blower wearing a full snowmobile suit while I was throwing snow in kit. Was funny but hey, it was effective, it takes a long time for those sticks I used to pedal to cool down.
