Being an ace coach, an avid cyclist and also a Chartered Accountant, Abhishek says that his 90% training was on an indoor trainer.
The advantages of an indoor trainer are quite underrated in India and especially for people living in metropolitan cities, the time and space required to train are quite less, and riding alone on highways is unsafe as well.

Here are the few points discussed in the episode: 

• Introduction of Abhishek
• His training for Deccan Cliffhanger
• Advantages with Indoor Training
• Metrics to consider
• Reading data
• The concept of Intensity & Work
