Back on Zwift though have only done about 10 rides. LOVE the Workout Creator.
Question.
When I am just riding, the course profile sets the resistance, but I assume that if I want to go faster, I have to use the gears, unlike a workout in ERG mode where the gears don’t matter as Zwift sets the Power.
Thanka
When in simulation mode, yes you just ride as if you were outside on the real roads. Use your gears to guide your speed and cadence as you would normally.
Knowing which gear to use when going uphill on a bike allows you to save energy and muscle power. If you foresee an upward slope, you must shift into biking uphill gears before you start climbing the slope. It is not recommended to shift gears when you are in the middle of traversing the road. While going uphill, using a lower gear is better. Smaller gear can help you accelerate faster without requiring too much effort in each pedal stroke.
