I'm still somewhat new to a power meter and I'm using the WKO optimized intervals. Here is my workout:
The problem I have is I'll be just a little below the range so I'll add just a little more power. Somehow I instantly swing to way too much power. So I try to back off just a little, and it instantly falls way below the range. Repeat non-stop until the interval is over.
Is this just normal for power ranges above FTP or do I just lack some skill?
I realize wind can make it tricky but I seem to have the same problem even when it is fairly still. Maybe I'm just underestimating variable outdoor conditions?
- 5 intervals
- 3:38 long with equal rest.
- The target range is 109%-119% of FTP
- At my pitiful FTP, that is about a 20 watt range
- I'm using a Forerunner with Garmin Vector 3 power meter and looking at the metric Power 3s.
- I'm doing this workout outside on smooth, flat, concrete roads.
