Any Zwifters out there?

[rockmoose]

Yeah yeah, but does he start his races facing the wrong way?

 

[Ackland]

I've done the 4 week ftp builder twice...... sort of.

Have broken down both times, but that's my body and it's injuries.

The program itself is great, but it would be nice if it had the trainerroad AI thing built in, to automatically alter the program depending on how your body is dealing with the efforts on top of regular life, that of course real cyclists don't have to deal with.

That's where doing a max effort on ADZ or an FTP test "off program" has helped somewhat.
It sets your new FTP and therefore the difficulty of each workout.
But yeah, doesn't have the smarts to alter the whole program going forward.
Obviously zwift relies on trainers creating the programs and they're a bit generic.

Tourmalet

Tourmalet

Sadly though neither have higher % grade or vm gained than the existing two....
Climbers are definitely in the minority on the platform though as the most popular routes are the flattest

 

[rockmoose]

Will we get Aspin East and Tourmalet West?

I wonder what other climbs are in store?

Will they sneak over to Italy and give us a bit of Stelvio? Motirolo?

This will suit you, Acko.

Wont be long till the wet nights are back and I'll have to fire the zwifty up again.

Yeah, you do need to be careful with those lithium batteries

 

[Ackland]

No Tron yet.
Got this fancy temporary jersey though.
5 sleepless nights in quick succession in the last week has interrupted my Easter plans.
About 4000vm to go.

Yeah, that 100 badge was a tough one. I still haven't jagged the 1.21GW. With an all out sprint being around 180w, I'm a fair way off........
