I’m overly analytical but also like riding by feel. My current best approach to making inside and outside virtually the same:
- disable smoothing in Wahoo app
- connect to Kickr (wheel-off) via Bluetooth
- in TR app switch to Standard (TR terminology / Level (Wahoo term) mode and set level = 1 or 2 or 3. For example I’m using 2 with an FTP of ~250W
- load workout on Garmin and perform workout just like you are outside. For example riding at 70% FTP and then grab two gears and do sweet spot intervals with bursts (Ebbetts). Without shifting in level = 2 I’m hitting 400% FTP 5-sec sprints
You may prefer the TR app’s blue bars and display, I like the TR app too. In that case turn on PowerMatch and use Erg.
Not sure what happens in TR app if PowerMatch is enabled and you switch trainer from Erg to Standard, believe it will record power from Stages but I haven’t tried it recently.
