Smart Trainer Workouts
Smart trainer workouts control resistance automatically for ERG intervals, simulations, and FTP tests when weather or time blocks outdoor rides.
Smart trainer workouts run on electronically controlled indoor trainers that adjust resistance to hit target power or simulate climbs. ERG mode holds watts steady; simulation mode mimics grade changes.
They enable structured intervals, ramp tests, and safe night sessions when roads are unsafe. Over-reliance without easy outdoor spins can dull handling skills—keep some real-road volume.
Common questions
-
Is ERG mode good for every workout?
ERG is excellent for steady intervals and tests; free-riding or slope mode builds pedaling skill and variability you do not get locked to a fixed watt line.
-
How often should I train indoors?
Use indoors for quality and safety when needed, but keep periodic outdoor rides for bike handling, braking, and cornering confidence.
