Hi guys, it's me again. I'm trying to improve my cycling uphill. However, i noticed that it's harder for me to "spin" rather than to "mash" on uphill.

When i spin, my heartrate shoots up, then force me to dismount on my bike and walk. However, when i try to "mash" with a slightly higher gear, i stay longer on the bike (but eventually will dismount and walk...)

below is my poor performance on my 1st try on this particular road.

Question is,

How do you get comfortable on spinning during climbs? My cadence on flats is around 80-85... tried replicating that cadence on climbs as i've read on the internet... but i failed miserably.
