I don't want to use the power tap now because I am tired from training and would just like to ride my bike for a few months without having to keep within a certain zone.
Who wrote the advice written above? is it by a coach or someone that has knowledge in the field? Thanks.
Why do you want to push a bigger gear? Do you have times when you cannot shift? Fixed gear/track? Hill/mtn when you don't have the correct gearing? If you are looking for more sustainable power, search for Sweet Spot Training (SST) for the winter.
Keep the PT running and download the data. You may find it invaluable in your future training. If you don't want to see it, put some tape over the display.
It is a summary of a thread of coach and ExPhys responses. All I did was summarize.
