28's is "recovery pace" on the blue line, ot should feel pedestrian but ideally not sketchy. The slower cadence at bigger gear can make it feel sketchy though especially if tense/choppy pedalling. (Edit: I'm not saying you are either of these).
With your legs not being wrecked it defo sounds like 88 is worth sticking with for now.

Hey thanks; that’s really useful info. You’re right about the fear of spinning out. On 28 second laps I felt like I was really trudging but on 23’s it started to feel a lot smoother.
As it’s only weekly I think I’ll stick with it for now and see if I can adapt. I guess it’s a bit more like a heavy weight session compared to an audax! Also legs were fine for the commute this morning so no lasting fatigue.
