  • Exporting from Zwift Running to Stryd

    I’ve been experimenting a lot with the best flow for incline treadmill training with various apps and pods and sensors and all that good fun stuff. Zwift Running is a great motivating interface, but is sadly lacking in functionality in working together with Stryd. They had a director of running who had promised a lot…

    Import Stryd and Merge with Zwift in Training Peaks

    If you want to use Watts to calculate your stats, and accurately represent or track your elevation gain from being an Incline Treadmill Trainer, this is the video for you.

  • First Steep Zwift RunPod Test – Retropost

    A deeper dive into Zwift Running

    As you probably can imagine by now, I’ve been doing a lot of running in the Zwift Platform. I’ve been on it now for over a year give or take a week or two. I did a couple of their built-in free training programs last winter to get prepared to train for my races last…

    Introduction to Zwift Running

    Zwift Running (#zwiftrunning) is an app [details on Zwift.com] that allows for the gamification of your treadmill workouts. Currently it’s free, and from what I gather, will continue to be free for a while. It has many of the same functionalities of the extremely popular Zwift Cycling app, which has well over a million riders…
