Difference between resistance very noticeable

[stannie]

Hi,

Pretty new to all this and to Zwift too. I have a Direto X and notice that when going from 0% to 2% gradient the jump in resistance seems to be really big.

Maybe it's me being weak, but if I'm not watching the map carefully and get caught out it really slows me/wattage output down.

Does this sound right? Is there a fix - or is it get fitter?!
