Workout is confusing. I was in ERG off mode and it was impossible to sustain the cadence requirement (100rpm) and wattage(from 100 to 255). Pop up message says to lower the cadence, but how do I increase the power without increasing the cadence??
Mike
With Erg mode OFF you increase power while maintaining cadence by shifting to a larger/harder gear.
Oh my. That’s right!! I’ve been in workouts few times and they were all ERG on. I forgot that ERG off means I can change gear. Thanks! Nigel.
Welcome to the Zwift Forum.
You can increase the resistance by using the incline button on the companion app. Or the onscreen arrows or ± button on the keyboard.
Oh. Is using incline button same as changing higher gear?
Mike
I think the incline button is more like going up a hill, where more power would be needed to maintain the cadence, whereas using a bigger gear would be like going faster on the same gradient. It would give the same result (more power at desired cadence), just in a different manner.
