60ish watts is quite low. I end up with many of my recovery’s around the 90w level, and the flywheel effect can seem a bit out of place. One consideration would be the gearing in use. If you are using a medium to higher gear, that will make the effect even more prominent. It may be appropriate to have that gearing for the work intervals, but it may have an undesired impact in recovery as you seem to be having.

Some gearing experimentation may be worthwhile. Possible swap for all use, or even consider using lower gear for recoveries vs higher for work. This adds complexity and will lead to more deviation depending on how you apply it, so perhaps not ideal.
- I do the opposite. If I alter my cadence pre-interval at all, I slow my cadence 5rpm about 10secs early… and then I jump hard the second before the “interval” since TR sends the trainer resistance change instruction early. Doing this kicks up the power level quicker because I am effectively entering the interval with more “brake effect” from the resistance unit due to the slower cadence.
