You’re saying that a request to increase intensity by +10 watts at a time would not address that need?
More importantly: I do not recommend increasing rest intervals mid-workout by any degree of intensity.
That rest plays such a key role in the success of the real, meaningful work that holds so much importance in building your fitness.
Increasing intensity AFTER your work is done to ride at Endurance pace; great idea!
I must adamantly suggest sticking to the structure of those rest intervals, though.
So I double-checked the percentage increase button today (using an iPad)…if you hold the + button, it is indeed a 5w increase, but moves very quickly. Took me me about 2” to go from 100% to 150%.
It’s a bit nerdy, but my workaround to this was to use autohotkey and a simple macro that presses the “Up” key 10 times to simulate a 10% increase. I have both a 10% increase and decrease and a reset back to 100%. It works well. I still have to press it a few times, but it’s definitely not the journey I was going on before. I have a secondary key pad that executes the macros, but you could just map to a key on your keyboard that you don’t use.
At least while you wait for the feature to be added.
Not disagreeing with doing it that way at all, but I always end up doing the bumping of the warm up of volunteer then! As in, I’m able for more than the standalone warm up %.
I did that in my OCD days when I wanted to get to the meat of the workout faster. But I just roll with it and use the “easy” button (aka just ride). Both ways work and it’s just a question of priorities and willingness to faff about
Definitely - these features, plus the intensity adjustment of more than 10% (for cool down) were things I missed more than I thought I would when I tried some Z workouts.
Yeah, never tried it on a phone…always used an iPad. But it doesn’t have to be very precise…you just need to get you there or thereabouts. It is all bonus time so a minute or two either direction won’t matter.
