Good question, and I think a lot of the answer depends on what you are training for and what volume plan you are on. Personally, I would save the intensity for the trainer and do Z2 outside. There is value in putting out those efforts outside, but I’d nail the workout indoors then enjoy the scenery with an endurance ride.
