How to increase cadence

Hi, sorry if this has been covered before, I did try and search.

I find that when I am riding workouts I am in my ‘easiest’ gear the whole time and still my cadence is too low to keep to the required wattage.

Today I rode the 2x20 FTP workout and even in my lowest gear I was riding at a cadence of around 80 to keep to 220 watts. For 120 watts is more like 65-70.

I normally ride with a cadence of 90-95, any tips?

What type of trainer are you using?

Hi, Bushido smart.

I’m assuming you’ve run the calibration software on the trainer?  I’m not familiar with Tacx trainers, but there appears to be calibration software listed on their web site.

Yep, all calibrated!
