Super achievable just by chosing a course with elevation for your workouts and then tapping out some extra VM at recovery after the workout finishes

For an immediate climb and not as time consuming or hard as the ADZ, select a 30 min workout and Jungle Circuit, as soon as it starts, do a U turn and you are at the bottom of the radio tower climb (Kom reverse), use your companion arrows to navigate to the bottom, 30 mins workout will take most of us to the top of the mountain... some may make it down the other side.

You're better coming down the KOM reverse as descending the Epic KOM has too many "uphills" (Yes the reverse has at least one you need to pedal through as well)....

Reckon I've done the KOM maybe twice and the reverse probably 20-25 times. I like the fact you get straight into the climb with the selected workout.

There's a couple of downhills both ways but it doesnt take as long as an Alpe and gets about half the elevation. For me with approach, ADZ climb and descent, its around 1.5hrs.

FWIW while trying to get the Tron bike, I found the best and most efficient way to gain VM was to do a workout on Ven Top.

GPLama and other ZwifTubers have come up with similar results.

It's just more satisfying to complete the climb rather than bug out at the end of your allocated time

We're back ! Just got a 30 day promo code email :cool:

So subscribed again and grabbed the free month to kick it off.

A few rainy days this week so will do some rides, might even crack out an Alpe.

Only about 10,000vm from the 50k mark on the Everest challenge as someone entered me in the tour of Italy or California at the start and I was about 5000vm in before I realised. Would be nice to knock out 2000vm per week.

I can confirm that Eric (ZwiftInsider) wasn't just whining about "Mosaic" from the Build me up program...

I looked it up this morning, just after you'd finished. Made me feel queasy all day

My 30km freebie from a few nights ago reminded me what it was like to sweat. My FTP is 262 from memory, a bit high for current fitness as I haven't pushed too hard since my op.
