You're staring at the same four walls, wondering why your partner hasn't washed their cup that's been sat on the side since Monday (just me?) and you pine for the great outdoors.
\nSo, we've asked the team at Precision Fuel & Hydration to help us pass those indoor training hours by giving us their best suggestions for what to watch and listen to when working up a sweat (Andy has even shared his Spotify playlist. We'll let you judge his musical tastes... Selena Gomez though? Really, Andy?).
\nHopefully our recommendations provide some inspiration for your indoor training and please do let us know your favourites so we can expand our library by emailing hello@precisionfuelandhydration.com...
\nJames Phillips (Precision Fuel & Hydration's Customer Service Manager and ultrarunner)
\nI'm a big fan of sports docu-series when on the trainer - Last Chance U and F1:Drive To Survive have been great for me recently.
\nGreg Thew (Customer Service Specialist and triathlete)
\nThe best ones I've watched lately are the All or Nothing NFL documentaries and The Test, which follows the Australian Cricket team. Brilliant insight into behind the scenes of some of the world's best sports organisations.
\nDave Colley (Marketing Director and runner)
\nI enjoy Chef’s Table on Netflix as each episode visits a different world-class restaurant or chef and looks at their personal story and how it developed their “food philosophy”. Beautifully shot and scored - foodie porn!
\nThe Defiant Ones. The story of Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine and how they ended up founding Beats. Great insights into the history of hip hop, the wider music industry and an inspiring business story.
\nAnd for basketball fans missing basketball: The Carter Effect (Story of how Vince Carter transformed basketball culture in Toronto) and Iverson (The story of Allen Iverson, a talented but troubled NBA star).
\nOther favourites:
\nBrad Williams (pro triathlete and Team Precision Fuel & Hydration captain):
\nI've spent a fair amount of time on the trainer in the past, so I've been fortunate to watch plenty of different stuff on Netflix and Amazon Prime, so my overall list is quite long but these are shows I would watch again (and again) if they end up having another season:
\nLast Chance U, QB1, Narcos, Money Heist and Ozark.
\nAbby Coleman (Precision Fuel & Hydration Sports Scientist and cyclist)
\nI don't listen to podcasts (except those that are work/content-specific and I tend to listen to those in the car). I prefer TV shows when I'm on the watt bike and I typically go for a drama - it was The Stranger, now it's BBC's Noughts and Crosses, and I intend to binge-watch Line of Duty next!
Other favourites:
\nCatastrophe; This Country; Citizen Khan.
Andy Blow (Precision Fuel & Hydration founder, former elite-level triathlete and swimrunner):
\nI'm going to recommend The Infinite Game Audiobook by Simon Sinek - I've been listening to it during my easy runs. It's great for anyone with an interest in business ethics and team building and leadership.
Greg:
\nI tend to listen to a variety of podcasts and audiobooks whilst training. The one I would recommend is Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins. It's an audiobook but at the end of each chapter it's discussed in podcast form.
JP: Podcasts are definitely my 'go-to' medium for easy and long runs on the treadmill (and outdoors). Work, Play, Love; The Morning Shakeout; Clean Sport Collective and Zwift Power Up Tri Podcast are some of my favourites right now.
\nSam Cummings (Supply Chain & Logistics Manager + cyclist)
\nThe podcast for me when using TrainerRoad has to be No Such Thing As A Fish - from the QI Elves. It comes out weekly on a Friday and is packed with fun facts and is a genuinely interesting and enjoyable listen.
\nDave: I enjoy Slow Burn. A long-form investigative journalism series. Season 1 covered the Watergate scandal, season 2 was the Clinton Impeachment, and season 3 is the Tupac/Biggee Smalls rivalry).
\nThe Rewatchables. A group of people watching old movies and discussing them.
\nSean O'Mahony (Head of Business Development, triathlete and swimrunner):
\nIn Our Time from the BBC - you learn something obscure about which you never thought you'd ever be interested.
\nSTEM Talk - general and broad science discussions.
\nThe Cycling Podcast - great banter about Pro cycling.
\nJonny Tye (Director, swimrunner and runner)
\nI generally 'cherry pick' episodes rather than listen to a specific show every week, but a few of my favourites are:
\n\nOther favourites:
\nThe Drive with Peter Attia (A little dry and heavy but solid medical science, some very good stuff on the Covid-19 situation).
\nMore or Less from the BBC (from the weekend Financial Times columnist Tim Harford).
\nThe Fit File with DC Rainmaker & GP Lama; Tower26; Rip The Fence (open wheel racing podcast); Oxygen Addict Triathlon Podcast; That Triathlon Show; TrainerRoad: Ask A Cycling Coach.
\nSean: When I'm training, random tempo stuff from Spotify or more specifically I'll listen to BBC Sounds (which you can download as an app and stream stuff anywhere in the world). My favourites are:
\nAnd the one you've all been waiting for, here's Andy's Spotify playlist. Andy says, \"if you don't shuffle and play it in order, it starts fairly chilled (i.e. the warm up), then it gets going pretty hard for a while, with the odd track where you naturally back off, so it's good for a long unstructured run or turbo session.\"
\n\nOnce you've worked up a sweat, it's time to sit back and relax, perhaps with a good book...
\nDave: I'm a massive fan of anything by Alain de Botton, but a few good ones for the current times are:
\nThat's training done and now it's time to fire up Netflix aaaand chill...
\nSam C: I have been known to enjoy an episode or two of Netflix's Sex Education, as have JP and others! Easy watching with a good few laughs here and there.
\nAbby: For easier spins or generally relaxing, I might mix it up with something more light-hearted like The Great British Bake Off or First Dates!
