Zwift Run has been a useful tool for me over the winter & I would happily recommend it to anyone. Obviously outdoor is better, but it has allowed me to fit in workouts where I wouldn't normally have the time such as when my kid is taking a nap. It's particularly good for speedwork & shorter more intense efforts.

I got a zwift foot pod for free with my British triathlon membership. Gave it a go at the gym with my phone resting on the treadmill display. I personally didn't feel like it encourages good run form to be looking down at it the whole time though. Obviously you could just run naturally and look down occasionally, but then what's the point. Would definitely have been better if I had a nice big flat screen at eye level like Mark has here. Maybe one day I'll have my own pain cave and be able to do that

1. Easy trick. Brick training. Click 'pair' in the menu and simply switch between bike and run. Quite fun as you set off running where you stopped cycling. 2. Slightly more technical... On a computer, it is quite possible to write your own training sessions and put them in your zwift directory and they will then upload to your zwift account. No need for training peaks.

Excellent video, thanks for posting. After watching a few of these videos, I haven't noticed any of the commentators refer to how elevation changes work. In Zwift cycling and you come upon a hill your trainer automatically increases the workload. Nobody in any of the videos I've seen thus far mentioned what you're supposed to do in Zwift run. I assume that you simply make the adjustments yourself when you notice elevation % has changed in the upper Right corner. I noticed video bloggers running on Zwift without touching elevation setting on their treadmill & on the Zwift screen elevation was 5%! Please advise

@geonwilliams 2 жыл бұрын

Have been looking all over for this. Does it apply a discount to your current speed to simulate the work uphill for instance - and is the elevation data synced with your Strava/Garmin at the end? Why are there no answers to this?!

@@Disillusioned2022 I can report back that it gives you 0 elevation for whatever run you do and doesn't virtually slow you down or anything like that so there's no point within Zwift to varying the treadmill gradient with the terrain. If you do, Zwift will just think you're running slower on the flat.

four years later and still no in-game workout builder for Zwift run. While there are ways around this for PC and iOS devices there is still no solution for Android devices. Also still no control mode ... the technology is there, why can't they make it possible for Zwift to control the pace of the treadmill during a workout? It feels like some little vanity project which is not well resourced. If they wanted to make it successful in its own right they would need to take it a lot more serious than they are.

I read somewhere that aerodynamics doesn't come into any significant play until 13 mph. This is for a road bike, so I would slightly less for a runner due to being more upright than a cyclist. But then again on a bike there are more objects the air has to go around.
