Yep, basically, I tried it on the 400M loop yesterday. Only problem is having the screen on, but I’ve got a running bag I put it on, just need to avoid changing focus.
It’s on my 945, and I think recent Fenix do it. Pretty sure it just uses the motion in your wrist but TBH it’s reasonably accurate.
My 735 has it too.
Only used it once whilst storm Dennis was doing It’s thing and I was in Cornwall for the weekend. But It wasn’t too far off what the treadmill said.
Zwift must smash through battery and data?!
It does use the battery a bit although I only use my phone on the Wattbike but it’s got a decent battery for now.
Not really sure about data, think I get 8gb and rarely get near the limit so I’m guessing it’s fairly light.
Something like the baker’s dozen might be a push.
I tried twice on the gym treadmill when the weather was rubbish.
I think there’s a calibration feature on the watch but you really need a treadmill for that unless your pacing is perfect.
It’s a bit like the old Polar footpod!
The training plans on zwift are getting on my tits now. You have your sessions for the week but they are released a certain times and you have to complete them within a time frame. If you miss one tough shit.
I was going to get up and do the next one before work tomorrow but I cant because it’s not released until the afternoon.
The call their training plans flexible, when they are everything but.
I’ve done the same on an outdoor run to get the headband I use on my avatar for cycling. Except I have a stryd and you can just connect that straight to zwift. So no need to mess with my Garmin watch which was recording my run as normal
That sounds proper shit! I’m still sticking with trainerroad for my structured workouts. The new plan builder and calendar really does make it nice and simple to move things around. Total opposite of what you suggest about zwift. I’ve switched my weekday workouts to Monday/Wednesday now, instead of Tuesday/Thursday as I’m zwift racing on those latter days. It’s a simple drag and drop on the calendar.
Did my set 3.5hr aerobic workout on Saturday morning, and just had zwift on in the background. I simply didn’t connect the trainer to zwift so that only the trainerroad app on my phone was controlling the turbo via erg. Was a fairly straightforward way to get the 25 volcano lap badge.
Yeah, Perf Pro for me for structured stuff
I am doing the Bologna TT at 11am (UK time) today. The 3pm Tempus Fugit TT was full
Yeah don’t bother with the Zwift plans - they look shit.
I just select workouts manually if using erg
There is simply too much choice and as per usual it’s not easy finding the workouts you enjoy within the game. So I tend to create my own and use those
My workouts = race 
Nice 3rd place for me on Bologna TT 15m12s which is a 22s improvement on 2 weeks ago and 3 places higher
What was your AP, not looked on there today.
360w not as high as my 20min effort on Friday though.
Another British Cycling South East race, another 10/20 min power best. Four weeks on the trot now!
You are improving massively at the moment.
Going to try the London flat BC TT on Thursday, day off yesterday (first complete rest day for a while) and just easy with some openers today and tomorrow so I can give it a proper bash. Bologna TT power from a couple of weeks ago was 273 / 4wkg so I’m hopeful I could hold at least that for the slightly longer course as I held back a bit until the climb
Thanks.
It’s only when someone says this and you think to look back at historic numbers that you realise just how much.
My own experience is that the improvements seen on TP are translating to faster real life efforts. Pretty much every ride I go on at the moment results in a handful of PRs, and I am seeing a few KOM top 10’s.
However, I think that when you do get to riding outdoors more, you need to push yourself a little harder, it is easy to fall back onto a pace that you are comfy with, even though you now have the fitness to go faster
