I'm curious to see the breakdown on what % of training people do on the track vs road vs trainer. I know for those of us who don't live close to a velodrome, the % of road and trainer time will be much higher.

Personally I don't live close enough to a velodrome to get in lots of training time, so I'm probably ~70% trainer and the other 30% on the road bike doing track-like work in a typical week.

What say ye?

I do almost all my efforts on the road, unless the weather is particularly unpleasant. The exception is days when I've got tank-emptying sessions like rolling kilos or muscular endurance work, where I need to be able to fall off the bike safely after the effort. So probably 90% road and 10% trainer (not including roller work).

About 4 hours from DLV/Rock Hill, with my own business (and married, although my wife is supportive)
I do probably 90/8/2% Trainer/road/velodrome. That's at about 8-12hr/wk training.

It used to be much more group rides outdoors, but I really need my 2 hour sessions to truly be 2 hours... and I was finding that on most group rides I was really getting about an hour of "work" in a 2 hour ride, but with travel/talking it was more like a 4 hour commitment.

Booo life

~3hrs from Rock Hill (4.5 from DLV). But I live where we can ride on the road year-round (unless a FREAK snowstorm hits).

So 98% on road, 1% on trainer, 1% on track

I do about 70% of that on my road bike and 30% on my training track bike (that I fitted with a front brake).

This totally changes throughout the year depending on the season and my work schedule. I have a local track in town here, but we have real winter and it's been snow covered. I've been 100% trainer for the past 2-3 months, but I'm going to the track tomorrow for the first time this month. If it stays clear I'll be 50% track 50% trainer. I do no real training on the road as it either traffic or mountains here, I've yet to find a suitable road for track-type workouts.

In the winter - I'm in the mid-Atlantic - I do almost all of my weekday training on rollers. Occasional trainer workouts, but rollers with magnets gives me all the resistance I need for Z5 and Z6 work. If the weather accommodates, I do my weekend work outside.

Once the weather gets good I do all of my work outside.

I do a stack of my training on the trainer. The simple reason is because it's convenient. Through summer, I try and get to the track for 2 sessions plus a race night, but more commonly I'm lucky to get 1 track training session. I don't sweat it too much because I'm a sprinter, and I can do a high quality session in under an hour on the trainer. Daylight and the hour doesn't matter. I'd do about an 80/20 trainer track split, more like 95/5 over winter
