You can ride as long or far as you like with as much or little resistance as you like. If you do that, the terrain is just cosmetic. You can reduce trainer "difficulty" to simulate a flatter route or switch it off entirely to utterly ignore the Zwift terrain. In terms of terrain simulation from a physical point of view, it's pretty irrelevant. They could even use locations where triathlons are held like Kona, Oceanside, and Florida (Panama City Beach)I'm unclear what actual problem you are referring to, and I don't think I'm the only one. I really wish Zwift would do something for triathletes. Flat Route, Tick - Tock, Wattopia waistband, even sand and Sequoias, volcano circuit / Volcano flat, etc. Imo wattopia has numerous flat-ish routes besides tempus. Set your trainer resistance to 50 % and the variance in power for a 5 hour ride will be way less than any outdoor ride you do. I have to say I find Zwift offering far "flatter" options than anywhere I can ride outside! Also - a lot of the "hills" in Zwift are not very steep at all, most of the rolling courses top out at around 4-5-6 %. They could even use locations where triathlons are held like Kona, Oceanside, and Florida (Panama City Beach) It's like the whole format is geared toward recreational riders that will hammer for 45 to 90min. I've done 6 hour trainer rides and believe me I'm not racing for 6 hours or riding Road to Sky for 6 hours. The flat courses in Makuri are no joke and not flat. The only flat courses are Tempus Fugit, Tik Tok, Volcano Flat and Beach Loop. Obviously you can train to hours versus miles, but not everyone wants to ride only hills.
I don't always like to climb for an hour and be credited for a 5 mile ride. Raw Vegan wrote:Why doesn't Zwift offer more in the way of flatter TT courses.
Was Zwiftopia belt for the main part, and can't quite remember the name of the other route but had some incline/decline on it - possibly the 'flat' route that still includes the zig zag climb and descent instead of going through the cobbled sprint section.Īs someone that used to train for ironman on the imagic velodrome 15 years ago then I can say I love the inclusion of some elevation in the zwift routes -) I do use the flat ones for when I'm doing odd technique sets where I prefer to have steady resistance from the trainer and use the gears to change effort (one leg drills, rolling accelerations, etc).Īll my riding is based on effort (watts) per hour and not virtual distance anyway, and TP doesn't use distance in any metrics I track, so not really an issue for me. I did 110km of fairly steady riding that ended up being a touch over 3 hours last saturday. Just an option for you.īack to the OP - I note your point and sentiment, although I slightly dispute your point. You can reduce the resistance % if you wanted to do other routes without having the gradient hit the trainer resistance. I'm doing IM Indiana and besides riding the Tick Tock course several times there's no good long route.

We hope that everyone gets a great workout and has some good fun in this part of 3R’s #prostyletraining offering.
