Nice Video Göran, i love running outside in the nature but i also like to running on a threadmill
and watch Netflix 😂
Pls make a roomtour of your small gym
Thanks! Actually already did a video about my training shed 😊: ruclips.net/video/1NqdtR38bLk/видео.html
Improving inside running seems cool, but the feelin of running outside and exploring new locations , is everything to me.
Yeah I agree with that! 😊
@@goranwinbladHi!
great channel. Can I ask what running pram you recommend? thank you
I stare at an unpainted basement wall when I run on my treadmill. I try to convince myself that it builds mental toughness😂
As usual, a really informative, high quality video! Thank you.
Annoyingly I don’t have a treadmill, although dreaming of one in our workshop-future-workout-studio-yet-to-be-transformed.
But am rowing a Zwift runner avatar almost daily, and love what the Zwift environment provides. It also helps connect me to a fabulous runner community (ZLDR) that helps keep me rowing.
(And then I’m running in real life outside)
Nowadays, I primarily run on the treadmill along with Zwift; and I have to say the trainings on zwift are very useful and controllable, specially the ones that use incline in percentage and intervals.
Thanks Goran. That beautiful sunrise was the highlight for me. Merry Christmas.
Man the amount of editing and effort put into creating this video is astonishing.
Thanks for noticing 😊
😃
Cheering for you always 🙂
Hey thanks for making these videos to help me with running! Very motivational
I just got a new-to-me treadmill. I'm very excited. I prefer running outside, but I think it'll be extremely convenient when the weather is really bad, for doubles, etc.
Yeah during the winter I have enjoyed having a treadmill a lot especially for interval sessions! Hope you get to have many good workouts on your new treadmill!
This was really enjoyable! I’ve been curious about how these systems work for running and you answered all my questions. 💪
Thanks Jeff glad to hear! 😊
While I was still in high school, I could safely run around my mountain home it was refreshing, often damp and sometimes required a little puzzle-solving with the way in which movements had to change to suit the terrain. I think it's safe to say outdoor running is irreplaceable. When I moved to a rather traffic filled area for university which was a little more dangerous for running, a treadmill/long indoor walks had to suffice. I totally appreciate where this virtual treadmill idea is coming from, it can be a happy middle-ground. The race aspect seems like a super fun way to gain some confidence before running real-life races.
Great stuff. Ty 😎 👍🏻
Very interesting video Göran..thank you👍
Cool! I’d love to give this a try on my treadmill. This is what I imagine in my head when people talk about “virtual running.”
It would be great to see them bring a virtual version of some of the big marathons to zwift.
Great video. I love running on Zwift in the colder weather. I do use View 3 though which gives a much more realistic, in head, view. This makes it even more like real life
How have I not heard of this?! Looks awesome!
Cool, would love to see you do more virtual races on zwift!
Thanks might be doing more of that in the future!
What a cool alternative. I will have to try this out! Thanks!!
Yeah I can recommend it as an additional way of running 😊
That matches my opinion on Zwift, too. Treadmills can feel deadly boring & this is better than that--but they're missing something about the game of running. I ran a half this morning and the most fun part is deciding if I should pass someone. Forced exactly even splits, they feel harder than variable splits & there won't be much passing.
This is a great way to make indoor running fun but as you said, it will never compare to beautiful sights outside
My wife has been asking me what I would like for Christmas, I've been thinking about the zwift treadmil sensor. Can't believe you put this video out! Let's see what santa brings me !!
Haha hope you have been good this year then 😅
I've been using a VR headset for computer gaming and computer flying airplanes for several years now. I never imagined using it on a treadmill and I will always prefer to run outside. Even in worst winter I always have an ice and snow free running route cleared from our community service vehicles.
Wow! That morning sky was beautiful!
Yeah that was a good way to start the day with running with that view 😊
Rouvy cycling has a run feature as well. You run with a Avtar like Zwift, but since it is augmented reality you actually run real locations around the world.
Awesome video
Thanks! 😊
There are options to create custom workouts within Zwift. I’m currently adding a couch to 5k program and mixing it up to suit my current level of fitness. I can’t believe this is free!
Great video
Thanks!
It will be an option, an add on, to the running comunity.
But a vast majority of runners love running outdoors, because it's outdoors.
In a lockdown, bunkers, jails, prolonged indoor work situations, and the like, its a great option.
And the online competitions are fun.
Agree! 😊
I have lots of experience with Zwift cycling, the program is good on rainy days like today, actually road on the trainer today. The program will not replace the joys of running or riding outside
Honestly like the look of this. Good for those days when you don't have so much motivation.. also here in the north of Sweden I'm dealing with minus 20 most days during peak winter which, while sometimes fun,.sometimes definitely isn't.
Yeah it for sure is, dealing with those temperatures I think indoor training is a great alternative especially for doing higher intensity training!
Sunlight in the eyes is vital. This will never be replaced in the virtual world.
Great stuff. This won't replace outdoor running but will certainly help with the winter months of training. Just paired my garmin 6x, can't wait to get to the gym and test it.
I like a bit of both, me and my wife have a cross trainer and a treadmill and if staying inside we crank on the bangers and have a mini rave.
One thing I never understood is people running on treadmills in gyms when it's nice spring weather outside. The power of habit, I guess.
I run and use my VR headset regularly for aerobic exercise but never really for running. Games like Thrill of the Fight, Synth Riders, Pistol Whip, Beat Saber, etc., let me get a good HR going for a while without stepping foot on a dreadmill..
My sister has an oculus and I like to watch just dance videos and play it but I get so motion sick that I can’t imagine running with VR.
It’s cool that’s there’s more than one way to use the ap though!
It would be very cool if Swift colaborated with a game developer or two, like Bethesda. As a gamer it would be super fun to do some milage in a place like Skyrim - especially if they could incorporate a free-running feature :)
Someone did wire up a bike trainer so they could cycle around GTA San Andreas… not sure if it’s been done for running but would be very cool
When you run inside you can quite at any point. When you run outside you have to came back home also 😅. I think there is a big risk that people don’t squeeze so much out of them as they could, but in the other hand when you run in controlled environment you probably take better care about the pulse etc. This looked a lot of fun! maybe you have to invest in a new intelligent treadmill and a big display 😆😉🥳
I have terrible allergies so even despite my experience in running (15:58 for the 5k) I have to do most of my runs inside on a treadmill. This seems like an interesting thing, end even if it won’t replace good times with my team it’s a cool way to keep up my easy running during the spring and fall.
Yeah for people like you struggling with allergies this could for sure make the indoor workouts more fun!
Nice video man ! Could you be so kind to share the name of the device you are using on the treadmill to check the speed of it please ?
I feel no enjoyment from cycling on Zwift. I usually just choose a workout on my phone/tablet and put it where I can see it, then I put on a podcast or some light tv / sports (which acts as my primary enjoyment). Just seeing my avatar cycle through a virtual world feels kind of pointless. But when I am challenging myself to cycle up a mountain it is more fun, especially since I don’t have that type of terrain nearby. However, Zwift really needs to fix the interface for creating custom workouts (you can’t even do it on your phone or apple tv, you need a tablet or a computer).
as much I hate to say it, this does seem pretty cool to train when conditions aren't ideal or, say, on lockdown for example.
so does any treadmill can be used with this zwift? thanks for the nice video
when it rains so badly, this virtual stuff is better than just running on treadmill without any views or information shown somewhere even though the treadmill have its display. well, super big screen will be even awesome
Yeah it can for sure be a good complement when the weather is bad, but running in the rain can also have it's charm 😊
@@goranwinblad indeed, I ran in a rainy day today :)
What's the nice thing about running, its we could experience nature, and meet other people's. It's would be different with VR
I can't beleive im getting interested in a video game haha:). I'd love to see you and an average runner do the treadmill test like the one that magnus midtbo tried in his channel. Would be really fun to see how a runner would do compared to the norwegian military :)
ruclips.net/video/J-zAeifC2sQ/видео.html
Haha I thought the same! Ok sounds interesting will check out that video 😊
2:24 If zwift or VR can ever match that, maybe, maybe, I'll consider moving a bunch of my training indoors. Hope the kids like their run and that exquisite sunrise.
Besides the views, one other huge downside is the monotony of treadmill... I like trails cause they keep my gait varied and involve more and different muscle groups, extra stabilization, adjusting for obstacles, hills (maybe smart treadmill can do the hills at least).
plus, it looks dangerous with all those cyclists bombing right past you pushing you off the shoulder. maybe we should be running against the flow of traffic? 😉 Edit: Heehee i see you make the joke at around 7:00
Just noticed that you are wearing an orange shirt... subtle :-) Great video!
😁 thanks 😊
Nice review! I'm running on zwift for a while now, but can't go as fast as you! (added you though :) ) Too bad for the race but the leader was Julien guyon he is quite famous in the Zwift world and a very fast runner...
Using runn will show the belt speed, might also be you would need a calibration if the speed isn't accurate. I use a Stryd for speed and cadence which I also use for outside, so my speed is identical indoors and outdoors, regardless of the belt speed.
The race you took part is from the Running League so it's in fact a group of races over a few weeks :)
And should you be racing more often, you can opt in to ZwiftPower which will provide official results for all events you join. Some races will require to have a HR monitor linked to Zwift.
Hopefully will be able to have a run with you one day! :)
Thanks and thanks for the added info 😊
Cab just about keep that thing on my head for about 10 min,so would be a short run.
Do you know if the smart tredmill sensor works with other pc games.
what treadmill do you use?
Tread mill and vr is a good idea to break legs. Also, vr helmets are not fun to wear while sweating
The steps per minute about 165 during the race, would you say that is accurate for you? seems low in that kind of pace you held.
The most accurate Zwift running is a high quality foot pod like Stryd.
Love your chan! Just out of curiousity, your flag is Swedish in Zwift but I understand you're living in Norway (and I guess the GW name is Swedish rather than Norwegian). What's your story? Is there any video on that?
tell me tips for running 5k
I would rather save my eyes and stare at whatever is in front of me. There's no way these VR headsets have no negative impact on your sight. After all, you are having something very close to your eyes.
Having this on TV would be cool tho
great video! here a thought, how do you imagine or asume running is going to change in the coming years of global warming, will humans evolution to sweat more to keep up with the heat? will humans run just at night when the day cools dow? or as you showed here all our running will be indoors?
Zwift for me is just to make indoor training more manageable, I don’t really view it as a competition to outdoor running!
I know a way treadmill running can be more fun. Every treadmill needs to be able to hold a phone or a tablet infront of you instead of laying down on the treadmill. That alone will make people being able to watch their own stuff while running. Its genius I know. Trust me it works
I hate running on a treadmill. It's like having a naturally aspirated car, say the 1984 Porsche 914. It was air cooled. They use these springs that as they heat up, they expand and open the air duct further. When they get cooler, they condense and tighten up, taking in less air. So, if you run an engine like that on a dyno (an indoor treadmill for cars used to measure horsepower and torque) in a garage, you'll overheat it. Running on a treadmill is JUST like that. We need air in our face while we run, the faster you go, the more air you need. I can run a 10K under an hour outside but can't get through a 5k on a treadmill. They're evil constructs of self-loathing and misery. Run outside. We're waterproof. It'll be fine.
I don't think VR training will be very big with the current headsets.. would be way too hot. In the future there will probably be better, lighter and cooler headsets similar to sunglasses.
What if it's a chip in your brain and you have a bionic eye to see out from it? 🙃
Dude you're running 15kph at 75bpm ... HOW! I just started running about 6 weeks ago and I "run" like 6kph at 130bpm LOL Man I have a lot of progress to make in this sport 💪💪
Haha that heart rate was not accurate 😅 should be closer to 120 bpm for me at that pace 😊
Not a big fan of the hamster WHEEL😂😂
😅
7:05 Crazy Finnish people 😂
😅
Zwift is great but I can’t think of anything worse than doing it with a VR headset getting full of sweat.
Haha yeah that's right but I imagine those VR sets getting a lot smaller and lighter in the future will probably be more like wearing sport glasses but that's quite many years away I guess.
I don't get it. With Kinomap you run along to real videos in very scenic locations.
Zwift has to run on tablets and phones so the graphics are basically the same as PC games from over 20 years ago.
Hook this up to a non motorized curved treadmill would be more realistic
Good suggestion would be interesting to try!
I’m looking on getting a Assault Runner. The run portion from the Arena Games Triathlon used them. The only thing that the non motorized curved treadmill don’t have gradient change.
I hope I never run in one of these 😂😂 I love nature too much
I can see a plethora of ways you can cheat in a game like this, but hopefully those players are playing other games. :D Apart from that it can surely make your indoor sessions a bit less boring.
Cool tech but a huge part of the reason I run is to explore new routes and trails! But if I lived in an area with long winters I would be all over this tech for cycling and running
i'm too poor for dis 😆i can barely afford good shoes
75 bpm with 15km/h??? Jeez I just hage trouble stakying under 130bpm with 9km/h lol
Haha the hr was not accurate there 😅 should probably be something like 120
@@goranwinblad thats still crazy, damn!
Your treadmill???
Do you run oriententeering
Yes I do it’s my favourite sport 😊
@@goranwinblad Me also
Very nice!!! But still, I prefer running on real environment :)
Yeah I agree!
if this is the future of outdoor activities like running.
then we are doomed, imo
Yeah it will never replace being outside at least for me 😊
Why do you have Swedish flag next to your name in zwift? Är du svensk?
Ja är svensk, men bor i Norge 😊
i see nothin when running 160+bpm 🤣 it can be good for some jog not for some seriuos workouts
Zwift running is fun for 1 day a week just don’t like dreadmill
Hi Goran, it seems that your comments are being used by scammers, see the response to my comment on this video
Hi! Thanks for letting me know those scammers are sadly all over RUclips and as long as they get reported they seem to be taken away quite quickly.
I run on zwift, I like it but racing with zwift is lame, because there are hardly any participants in the races.
Ok yeah I saw that it wasn’t that many participants in most races.
Sadly the running community is smaller than the cycling one, so less people own a treadmill at home... But I have joined some events with a few hundreds participants, or some others with around 50 with some good pushing runners. Depends the time of the day... Mostly weekends are having more people joining!
cheating in a virtual running race XDDDDD takes a specific individual to do that
Haha yeah 🤣
GOD I HOPE NOT!!!
I really hope not
I hope not
what i dont get is, we have super graphics in all racing games. perfect copies of cities. why does zwift have such crappy graphics? its just unnecessary.
Can you cheat while running? Since you can lie about your weight on the bike.
Yeah I guess the easiest way would be to just step of the treadmill and let it run 😅
There are sadly many ways to cheat in running... When you see some runners going faster than the world record 5000m time, you can expect they are cheating... Some official WRTL events or Leagues are controlling a bit more though
the graphics are terrible, it doesn't look real at all. It's nearly 2023.
No. Just no.
running is great but what about your health ? shouldn't you work out and gain a little more weight?
