  • 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?

  • In my legs. The effort of keeping a cadence of 80+ seemed far more difficult than just grinding out the watts out the saddle.
    I’ll happy be out the saddle for 20-30m plus, without much upper body fatigue.

    I’ve not been on the turbo for over a month, so it might just be my legs forgetting how to drum out intervals.

    Note the puny efforts of trying to hold a higher cadence in the attached. Power targets hit, but clearly not in the most efficient way!

  • Yeah I’ve been off the turbo for awhile,
    I’d say I have a above average cadence hence why I ride with a 32.
    I guess some of it is flexibility in the hip?
    Here’s my hills session this evening
