During my training sessions Ive been experimenting with faster/slower cadence and how it affects my ability to maintain a certain wattage during intervals. It seems like my sweet spot is around 67-68 rpms which seems quite slow to others Ive read on this forum. I can hold 5-10 watts higher power for longer when I hover around this rpm range. Any faster and I feel like Im rushing the cadence and any slower it feels like I lose momentum and get bogged down. My ftp is in the 270 range and that is what Im basing my workouts on in Trainer road.
Caveat--I do 99% of my training indoors on the trainer (just easier with young kids).
Any others experiment with their cadence during training and what did you discover?
