I know it’s been addressed before and shrugged off like it doesn’t make a big difference and maybe that’s so, but when I’m in a workout and need to hit 360 for x amount of minutes then the software should enable that to happen. Consistently hitting 345 or lower IS a big difference. The reason I trai…

Seriously, how do you know that wattage is best? The desktop app has updated PowerMatch that might be more accurate. Have you tried it? There is a thread on it.

360? That’s just an example. The workout I did today had 315, 330, 360 and 390 all as targets and they were all off. The reason I pay for this software is to be accurate and hit the targets.

Can you post or link to a workout file? What trainer are you using? What powermeter are you using? Are you using powermatch?

I could but not relevant to what I’m asking. It seems they are doing something new on PC but I’ll wait for iOS and see if it helps. It’s just frustrating when all this technology can’t work as intended. It’s a known issue though and not a problem with my setup.

Raise the intensity by 3%. Problem solved. I do this all the time if targets aren’t in line as happens sometimes with VO2 intervals. Normally I just don’t worry about it. Good enough is good enough. YMMV.

I have not noticed this issue with my workouts ( using iOS on an iPad). Sometimes I might be 1 or maybe 2% low but mostly I have been right on when using erg for VO2

When I have had the issue in the past (2-3 times) it came down to changes in cadence when I enter an interval and how my cadence changes during intervals between intervals. I have only noticed it with VO2 intervals. For example, if my cadence increases by 5-10rpm over the course of the first two i…

Sounds like a trainer limitation? There’s so many different kinds and a lot of them have very coarse resistance level. I’d go insane if I had to deal with shifting gears to stay above the trainer floor but below the trainer ceiling. Sounds like your trainer can give, eg, 345 or 375, at the cadence/g…

What trainer are you using? Are you in ERG mode, using powermatch, something else? If you normally use ERG, can you hit your targets consistently when in standard mode (not ERG)? When doing less intensity (ie Sweet Spot) is your output wattage more inline with the target? I could be wrong but my un…

It’s time for a change [TR Vo2 control]
