Episode notes
Get Quality Indoors, Mileage Outdoors
- Do structured intervals indoors and use outdoor rides for mileage and aerobic volume.
- Preserve the controlled environment for precise workloads and enjoy longer rides outside.
Use ERG Mode For Unforgiving Intervals
- Electronic trainers in ERG mode give more consistent, higher-quality intervals by locking your target power.
- Use ERG for structure, and switch to resistance mode when you want manual control.
Indoor Power Often Trails Outdoor Output
- Indoor power can be lower than outdoor power largely due to poorer cooling and motivation.
- Improving indoor cooling and familiarity with indoor training narrows the discrepancy.
