When using my smart turbo I do try a high cadence. I’ve found over time that translates on to the road.
I ride 50/34 11-32, do you have enough gearing?
What % of ftp are your intervals at?

Yeah, I just did a 40m sweetspot session 96% FTP, 88% FTP 5m x 4 at 55 rpm out the saddle because my legs refused to spin faster today.
Bit of a grind....

Tried to increase cadence, but on the higher FTP, legs just would not get past 75rpm and perceived extertion was way higher than lower cadence.

I’d have thought perceived exertion would be higher with a higher cadence as you are recruit more aerobically no?
Or did you mean in your legs?
