I give one leg pedaling drills a meh. I have done them on the trainer and outside and but one more drill to master that does not seem to make a difference but I see no downside (careful not to pull a muscle). Maybe there is upside.
i get bored/inattentive and drift back to 56/44 before my left leg fatigues. it does feel unnatural, and if i get out of the saddle and really hammer, the peak power is notably lower (900 vs 1100) if i try and “focus” on the left side. so i think that would be the real advantage given cardio limits - more powerful sprints?
i actually first noticed this because of peaks, on the meter which was only reading from the left side i couldn’t get >900 peak watts no matter what i did.
