I’ve never paid much attention to my cadence other that out of curiosity after I ride. I don’t display the data field on my head unit. I normally just go by feel. But today during a ride I had a few intervals for the workout and felt like I was mashing a bit on the first couple of intervals so for the last few I thought I would attempt to ride with a bit higher cadence for the last few intervals. So after the ride, to my surprise, my cadence for the internals were mostly fairly low. Low 70s rpm. The last interval was higher at 77 but others were between 72-74. This seemed very odd to me as indoors my cadence tends to be mid to high 80s but of course those are shorter sessions. I checked my last HIM which was a couple years ago and it was 85 for that entire ride.
Is fluctuation normal?
I’m not so concerned as I had a long-ish brick workout last weekend and one today and even with my low cadence on both my runs were strong. It’s just odd as I’ve always considered myself closer to a spinner than a masher.
