You can enter races held at the category at your level (at the moment its a simplistic W/kg level) and they are very competitive, you have to use your brain and tactics like you do in real life. It can genuinely help you prepare for the efforts of real racing in a safe environment. Where its real strength is however, is to use it for racing. I do get images of groups of people playing Zwift together with headsets on Discord and chuckle. But can totally see that its a powerful tool to socialise. I'm less interested in this as I only rarely do training rides with my mates in real life maybe once a week, and want to get away from training in a shed on my own as i do it too much. Or you can use it like a social media tool, going out for virtual club rides with your mates.

You get the level increase and free new kit and stuff, but this is only valid for posing or better performance in the races better bikes and wheels etc. Although it is a bit insular, but occasionally you get a few people ride with you while your doing a workout.
This is what I use it for, plug in workouts my coach prepares and just do them.

What Zwift is and why its so popular is it covers all the above with the Workout mode, its a social tool, its an open world simulator where you can meet real people and most importantly its a racing sim.įor training you can use the inbuilt training sessions switch your brain off and just bash it out. Brilliant for hard training efforts, if nothing else.
I've not used it but I know guys that rate Sufferfest highly for a more emotional reason, they love it because they just want to get on their bikes press play and not think about what they are doing just live in the moment of the video, and match the power numbers it tells you. It is quite a traditional scientific approach. But nothing else has the quality of data on the screen. But you better have another screen / window with netflix running or music on because its so dull to watch, basically like a giant bike computer screen. I get the impression if you use turbo training solely for structured interval training then Trainerroad is going to be the best option. These are all really great tools for riding a stationary bike, or a bike on rollers, but it entirely depends how you use them and what you want to get out of it.
