Just getting back on the bike after about 6 months off so decided to mix a bit of turbo training (sufferfest) with some outside rides
Why is it that when I'm on the turbo 230 watts for even a minute or so (I know its a small number but I feel like im starting from scratch) feels like a real effort, but going up a proper hill today 260 watts for 6 minutes felt comfortable.
Both readings taken from my calibrated stages, so why am I roughly 50 watts better outside for similar effort?
Are you comparing out of the saddle outside vs in the saddle on the turbo?
nope..both in the saddle! I'm not complaining of course 🙂
Heat fatigue, distractions.
Turbos are the work of the Devil, simples.
One of my favourite topics 🙂
