Hi there,
I know that there is a significant or can be a significant difference in outdoor FTP vs. trainer. That’s understood.
What I wonder about is the following:
I, for example, live in a fairly hilly area and when riding outdoors, it’s basically impossible to stay in Zone 2. I would either crawl up hills or go down a hill pushing the pedals like a maniac to stay in the prescribed zone(s).
How do you normally have your athletes manage that? Or do you recommend to simply hit the prescribed zone on average, meaning that target zone 2 would be 162-192 watts and the athlete tries to at least have the average for that lap/interval within these 162-192 watts?
Thanks
