I was told by a very knowledgeable bc coach that training on the turbo for eg 1 hour is equivalent to 1hr 30 on the road. Has anyone else heard that?

For example if you are down to do a 3 hr road ride and the weather is rubbish, 2 hours on the turbo has the same effect. Apparently turbo time is worth half again what you would do on the road. I'm assuming it's because you are constanly pedalling and not freewheeling.........? Any thoughts?
