I’ve come to the similar conclusion reading the entire thread as you have. I’ve never tried V02 without ERG and was concerned going in. Furthermore, I hadn’t done any intensity over SS since Nov 2023. So as an introduction into V02 starting my Base 3, I tried my first V02 in Resistance mode. I surprised myself not only during the interval, but I was actually pushing more watts in the last interval than the first. From my experience I just went off RPE focusing on breathing and leg speed. I fully expected the power to eventually drop, it just never did and was surprised I was able to hold on.
