Thanks for the reply...I guess my main issue is-- I feel like if I try to maintain 90+ during my rest period ( I am totally comfortable riding a high cadence ) my power goes up and I can't keep the lower target power in check. Is your suggestion to get into a much lower gear to maintain the cadence, yet keep the power to a minimum?Yah. But...some rest intervals I don't even pedal for like 30 seconds because I feel like I'm dying. The only way you can do the rest intervals wrong is to do them too hard. Cadence doesn't matter too much.
So the recovery times don't change the numbers for the FTP test right? Tried Trainer Road for the first time last night (FTP Test), loved it. Had the same question as MasterTX, I couldn't keep the power down/RPM up during recovery. Basically would've had to stop pedaling to keep it at 80-90 (or felt that way at least). But from what I gather, the recovery numbers are merely a suggestion, the key is to just keep the legs moving but not "working".
Awesome product. Hope you guys keep moving it forward and end up achieving word domination and infinite wealth.
