For best results, you'd ignore the speed and distance information while riding on the trainer and instead focus on heart rate, power output (if you have a power meter) and the duration of exercise.
There is no such thing as "" to the fact that most trainers are easier to pedal than a bike on a real-world road"".

You may believe that, however, I challenge you to present empirical data to support that statement.

After all, facts should be readily available for independent 3rd party dispassionate verification. Thank you for your cooperation in the pursuit of academic knowledge.
