The December update came with achievements for riding many of the routes. Its greatly increasing my level up rate with all these extra points available now. You have to select the route before you start, and you can only do one route per session.
Zwift/Life hack - give credit where credit is due. Correct us if we're wrong but your "fastest" section of the video used @EricSchlange with Zwift Insider's data. This community-driven site is maintained by Eric Schlange and a team of Zwift enthusiasts. Give them a shout out next time.
Was setting up Zwift to do a run yesterday with the Zwift RunPod and something glitched out so when I logged into the server I was going 21.6 mph. Ran a 2:46 mile which I believe is a world record. The cyclists I was passing must have felt pretty bad about themselves.
For brick session just hit A after the bike session and start the run session. Otherwise you will stay ages to save individually the bike and load the run. Zwift will safely save the bike session and voila, you have your brick as it supposed to be, with a fast transition.
b09d4n thanks for this. We did check this hack, but it wasn’t saving the bike session. We checked with Zwift too, and they said you would have to save and then start run. But you’ve had success with it then?
Enjoyed the video as always...good job guys! Here a question about zwift for running as I am not sure how I can imagine this is working. Does zwift control pace changes as I am going through interval trainings (just like on the bike when I import training sessions from TP) or do pace changes need to be manually adjusted on the running belt, assuming there is a bluetooth connection between the running machine and zwift? Tks
I know this is a Zwift sponsored video, but I'd like to have a question about bike indoor trainers in general. I have recently started to check out some reasonably priced indoor trainers. I am quite lost. There are so many types and I have no idea which one is good, what are the pros and cons of each type, what parameters and features are important to have. I was also wondering if there are cheaper, or even free applications to train with. This might be a good question for the GCN guys, or they can make a video about it.
I would say first off there are two main considerations to make starting out, then you can fine turn your decision depending on what trainer will work best for you and the results you are looking to get from it. The first one is how much you want to spend on your trainer as the more you spend, like everything, the more you get in terms of features. The second one for me, is where you live and are going to put the trainer, if you live in a flat or have thin walls or a young family then you will need to get a quieter trainer, as wheel on trainers, and other none-direct driver trainers tend to be rather loud and give off alot of vibrations which is sometimes where the noise actually comes from. RUclips is your friend here as most of the trainers out there have reviews and most reviews have "noise 'checks" too. I started out with a Tacs Wheel-on trainer but after being asked from a neighbour if I had a new washing machine i quickly realised i needed to upgrade so moved up to a Wahoo KickerCore trainer where your back wheel is removed and sits directly into the trainer, the sound difference was massive, the quality is superb and its everything i need from a trainer at my level as it has most of the features of its bigger brother. A good tip is if you know anyone with a TurboTrainer you could ask to try theirs or borrow it for a few days. The second tip I would give is check ebay and places like this as sometimes you can get some good deals on older higher spec trainers but at a lower cost. Hope that helps.
During a ride, go to the menu and click on the picture of the California Challenge. From there you can select the challenge you want to be active, including the Everest Challenge.
How do you guys feel about ERG MODE?!?! I was riding with it, but since november i´m riding with my powermeter as the power source and ERG OFF, I think it´s more realist. What about you? And another question, how long can you handle to stay on your aerobars when riding indoors? I can´t handle more than 5minutes, my tight adductors and lower back start to "complain"... tks
No, the speed is actualy calculated with a somewhat sophisticated formula, taking into account your weight and height (based on profile), gradient and power as well as drag coefficients and rolling resistance that takes into account which bike, wheelset and surface you are riding on.
Have you got any Zwift hacks? Share them with us!

😁😂 I’ve been passed by runners while cycling on Zwift. I’ve often wondered how they were doing it 😳
Is there a code for the GTN kit?
if there is then i seriously need one because I love gtn soo much
How do you get the GTN kit, it looks amazing.
I like that tab function to skip to the next set - can that be done on the companion app?
Nice. Companion app Ride On hack - like that a lot. Had wondered in-game how that happened when there was multiple Ride Ons during in a group.
I've been Zwifting for 2 years and still found this useful. What make/model of treadmill is used in the video? thanks
Stuart Little thank you. It’s the Technogym MYRUN treadmill
@@markthrelfall3577 Yep... as high-end a treadmill as I feared! Nice bit of kit. Can it track your cadence?
@@stu09 mmm stay tuned - Zwift are due to release something quite cool to use on any treadmill :)
@@markthrelfall3577 what can it be, interesting?
Thanks super helpful
Can one link with shoes that have a BT chip like the Under Armour Hovr?
Can you tell me which treadmill that was and what tripod tv stand you were using?

Yes, I did it successfully and I'm doin it on regular basis. It's not my hack, anyway, I heard about it on RUclips :)
@@b09d4n thanks for this tip. I just tried it successfully. It saves so many time especially with my slow laptop
Number 300 like. Very informative
What treadmill were they using in this video?
Eric Wohnig we’re using the Technogym MYRUN treadmill
@@markthrelfall3577 And that's a little out of my price range! Thank you, though!
Can i download a route as.a GPX file into Zwift and ride it in erg mode?
but where is the GTN Jersey code?
and for zwift runners is totally free 😳😳👏🏻👏🏻
How do I get the GTN kit on Zwift?
It showed up in my garage when I hit level 4.

Rudolf Reiter For safety you have to control the pace and the treadmill then inputs that pace into Zwift. Keep training👍

Can you guys put out a Zwift GTN kit like GCN did with promo code GOGTN or something like that? Thanks!
Woah woah woah there...you're just casually going to skip over how to get that sweet GTN kit??
Mike Nicolson it’s coming. Hold fire. A couple of delays with some updates in how your access new kit in Zwift. We’re eager to let you guys know too
Can anybody tell me how to sign up for the Everest challenge? I can’t find it anywhere!!

I have been riding Zwift for over a year now and found I have been giving ride ons wrong. I feel like such a jerk now.
Zwift's user interface needs alot of work.
agreed. been using zwift for 2 years and it hasnt changed... its horrid.
How do you guys feel about ERG MODE?!?! I was riding with it, but since november i´m riding with my powermeter as the power source and ERG OFF, I think it´s more realist.

@1:47....you aren't fooling anyone we can see you're only doing 65W ;-)

How can a bike be faster in Zwift? Surely it's down to the person and the bikes are just cosmetic
No, the speed is actualy calculated with a somewhat sophisticated formula, taking into account your weight and height (based on profile), gradient and power as well as drag coefficients and rolling resistance that takes into account which bike, wheelset and surface you are riding on.
@@seulebrg But why is the bike a factor? It should just be the power the rider is putting down. Really has put me off zwift.
Because the bike is a factor in real life too
