erg mode vs level mode

[disraelsen]

Now that we have done the 1st test and entered all of our data,
should our trainer workouts be done in “erg” mode or level?
On the ILT I just wasn’t able to hit the prescribed wattage for the minute, so I reduced the % on the computer to 75%-80% so the resistance wasn’t as high on the kickr. Other options?

Sorry, I think my question was just answered on the Episode 14 podcast.

Awesome! Happy to hear the podcast helped.

I find ‘non-erg’ or level/slope mode to be best for most of the workouts. That way you can do the work, hit your HR, cadence and/or power targets as if riding outside, and less of like being like on a treadmill with the trainer dictating the effort.
