This week Brent, Sean, Chris, Stef, John and special guest Nathan Trachta talk about the start of everyone's favourite no categories Zwift scratch racing series - Herd Winter Racing! Nate gives us the low down on some new Herd Beginner Racing categories. We talk a bit about the mysterious thing growing up from the depths in Watopia and our favourites out of proposed new routes for ZRL Season 2. Plus the usual Herd racing round up. Moo!

In what has now become a tradition, Zwift HQ today revealed a bagful of new features, both in hardware and software, coming down the track as the Northern Hemisphere Peak Season ramps up.   The Zwiftcasters run through the shiny new things - some of which are being implemented immediately and some which will be scattered before Zwifters hopefully before there's snow on the ground.   There are a number of real crowd-pleasers, including a revamped HUD and new roads in Watopia, but there's more - it's quite a packed programme. Hear what we think of what's coming!  

This week the PT crew tries their hand at course design with the ZRL community designed race course in mind. We develop courses we'd like to see for Watopia, Makuri, Scotland, and France. Let us know what you'd like to race! Also, we discuss the week in Herd Racing, with a long HSRL race on Itza Party.

After a very long coffee stop, the Zwiftcast returns to resume the familiar mix of Zwifty chat and gossip. Simon, Shane and Nathan are joined by friend of the pod, Eric Schlange of Zwift Insider and special guest Dave Towle. Quite a lot happened in Watopia and the wider Zwift world over the last two years or so. Simon picks out the big stuff and we put those through the Zwiftcast grinder. There's a great chat with Olympian cyclist and now highly rated coach, Kristan Armstrong on how to get the best out of the new feature on Zwift, The Grade.  Simon spends a few minutes explaining why the pod went away, why it's come back and where it's going next. And we conclude with a look at the competitive scene on Zwift with the long called for retirement of Zee Power in Zwift-owned racing events as well as the curious appeal of a Beat The Bots ride. Welcome back Listeners!

Had a Tornado watch for the area, so I did a walk in Watopia on my NordicTrack treadmill. While I walked I discussed various things. This episode was recorded using the Hindenburg Field Recorder app on an iPhone 14 and edited and produced using Hindenburg Lite on a MacBook Pro. The Intro music was "Out the Back" and the Outtro was "Out the Back" from Epidemic Sound.

This week, we're still in Watopia, as the HSRL takes on Figure 8. Join three drunk Brits, and a semi-competent Canadian, as we discuss Zwift, and in particular, the Herd Racing League. This week's special guest - Clare Spencer - tells us all about the cool female riders in the HERD, and some of the great team events they're taking part in. Thanks again to Gavin for the theme tune!

Jeder deutsche Biker kennt ihn: Karl Platt ist Mr. Cape Epic. Immer dabei, fast immer ganz vorne, fünffacher Sieger und "Dauerkartenbesitzer". Und als ob der südafrikanische Mountainbike-Rennklassiker nicht Herausforderung genug wäre, kam dieses Jahr eine weitere hinzu: das für seine unfassbar schönen, aber hammerharten Trails, die wilde Natur und vor Staub schwarzen Gesichter berühmte Rennen fand dieses Jahr auf der Rolle statt. Wie Karl das Rennen erlebt hat, wo die Antilopen geblieben sind und wie Ihr euch selbst auf ein Marathonrennen vorbereiten könnt, erfahrt Ihr in dieser Folge von #allesistfahrbar.

Simon, Shane and Nathan reconvene to consider the state of the Zwift nation. Once the pressing matter of “leg posts” is dealt with,  the podcasters move on to discuss the content of Simon’s interview with Zwift’s new hire Mark Cote, the company’s director of programming and content. One of the many strands of Mark’s expansive new role, which he explains in some detail, is to improve the communications between community and company, a move that the Zwiftcasters believe will be welcome. There’s been yet another Strava shake-up on Watopia and the other Zwift worlds with a whole load of segments vanishing from the public view. Simon chats with Zwift Insider’s head of everything, Eric Schlange, on what it all means, how it came about and why it might be time for a re-think of how segments are made and managed. The podcasters range across a cornucopia of Zwift business including signs of Zwift restricting some hardware on some platforms for some users and the reasons why more women seem to be getting public sanctions for cheating in racing than men. Zwift has recently launched another of its social impact campaigns, this time celebrating the contribution Black athletes have made to the sport. Simon chats to one of the inspirational voices of the initiative, ex-racer and Zwift staffer Rahsaan Bhati. And in and amongst all that there’s lots of other Zwift-related chat. We hope you enjoy listening.

Watopia versus Wattenscheid, indoor versus outdoor.

Welche Vorteile In- und Outdoor-Training mit sich bringen? In der 19. Folge des HYCYS Podcasts „Junkmiles“ philosophieren Daniel Beck (Journalist) und Björn Geesmann (Sportwissenschaftler) über die unterschiedlichen Umgebungsbedingungen beim Training. Warum Schlupflöcher, Trägheitsmomente und die Thermoregulation eine Rolle spielen aber auch unebene Untergründe, Thermoskannen oder passende Klamotten wichtig sind erfahrt ihr in der neuen Junkmiles-Folge.

Vrijdagavond 22 januari 2021 live uitgezonden op YouTube, Facebook én Twitter: Een nieuwe aflevering van Het is Koers! TV oftewel #HIKTV! Uw hosts Bastiaan Gaillard en Maarten Visser beantwoorden veel vragen van startende Zwifters. De populariteit van Zwift blijft groeien. Elke dag registreren zich nieuwe gebruikers die dan hun eerste meters op Watopia gaan draaien. Eenmaal ingelogd en een stuk gefietst zitten zij met vragen. Hoe kom ik in een andere wereld en waarom mag ik niet gelijk Alpe du Zwift omhoog? Wij kennen Zwift op ons duimpje en willen graag met behulp van ZwiftNL in deze aflevering jullie vragen beantwoorden. Tijdens ons gesprek met Jacek Karluk bespreken we onder andere de volgende punten: Connectiviteit: Hoe verbind ik mijn trainer/laptop/AppleTV/Tablet//HRM/horloge? Wat is de Companion app en waar heb ik het voor nodig? Wat is FTP en hoe bereken ik het? Wat is W/KG? Wat is ERG mode en hoe werkt het? Waar vind ik Zwift work-outs en trainingplannen? Wat is Zwiftpower en wat kan ik ermee? Welke routes zijn er op Zwift en hoe kan ik deze rijden? Wat is ‘draften' en hoe maak ik er het beste gebruik van? Ik neem de Zwift rit ook op met mijn fietscomputer, alleen verschilt de afstand en snelheid, hoe kan dat? Mijn Zwift rit is niet naar Strava geupload, hoe kan ik dit fixen? Hoe zit het met de route badges en challanges? Hoe zit het met voeding tijdens het Zwiften? U luisterde naar Het is Koers TV gepresenteerd door uw twee favoriete amateurwielrenners, Bastiaan Gaillard en Maarten Visser.

Matt & Greg give a warm welcome to their new podcast co-host, Rahsaan Bahati! Rahsaan’s journey has taken him from, in his words, “the hood to Watopia,” with many bike victories on the way!

Zwift is a massively multiplayer online cycling and running physical training program that enables users to interact, train and compete in a virtual world. The company responsible for Zwift, Zwift Inc., was cofounded by Jon Mayfield, Eric Min, Scott Barger and Alarik Myrin in California, United States, in 2014. Now that you are ready to get started with Zwift, there are a couple basic things you need to start running. Some of this might be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry, we are here to help! First—you'll need a treadmill. This is what you'll need to run on while you're connected to Zwift. In some cases, it will also give us the info we need to make you move in-game and let you run with Zwifters all around the world. Second—you'll need a footpod, connected shoe, or treadmill sensor. We’ll help you figure out what works best with Zwift. If you have a treadmill that transmits directly to Zwift via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)—sometimes called a smart treadmill—you won’t need a footpod, connect shoe, or treadmill sensor. For a list of smart treadmills that we support, check out this article. Third—but definitely not least, you will need a Device to run Zwift on. We support a ton of different devices. To sum it all up, here is a simplified list of what you need: A treadmill The Zwift RunPod is one of the easiest ways to get up and running on Zwift. For information on how to set up your runpod, check out this article. A footpod, smart shoe, or treadmill sensor A Device to run Zwift on.

Wir leben in Zeiten, in denen Sport fast nur noch alleine erlaubt ist. Vereine und Clubs leiden unter den Einschränkungen, gut dass es da draußen noch genug Clubs und Vereine gibt, für die sich das Warteb auf bessere Zeiten lohnt. Einer davon ist URoP, United Runners of Pfalz . Tobi und Marco zwiften mit Flo auf Watopia und erklären, was an diesem Club "geil" ist. Bitte Bitte Bitte, gründet mehr Clubs wie diese

Dato che io non so praticamente nulla di tapis roulant e di Zwift e simili, ho chiesto aiuto per la realizzazione di questa puntata.Questo è un periodo particolare, e tra il freddo, la pioggia e le zone rosse, correre sul tappeto potrebbe essere davvero una buona idea.Ho trasformato una delle mie chiacchierate, che vorrei far diventare un’abitudine almeno mensile, in un’occasione di formazione per me e spero anche per voi.Per farlo ho chiesto aiuto ad uno dei Patron di questo progetto, che è solito correre sul treadmill e che utilizza Zwift per trasformarsi un avatar e correre per le strade virtuali di Watopia: Antonio Palma.Per cui, un grande ringraziamento ad Antonio, che mi ha dato e che ci ha dato numerosi informazioni utili sul tema.In questo episodio abbiamo anche nominato…- Scannellatori Seriali (ed il mitico Barbazza): https://www.facebook.com/triatletiignoranti- Stephen Cousins (Film My Run): https://www.youtube.com/c/FilmMyRun- GCN Italia: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzneljSKX9QKU3pb9FSwhKg- Hardware supportato da Zwift: https://support.zwift.com/en_us/supported-running-hardware-SycvahzDB----------------------Supporta questo progetto tramite un sostegno mensile su Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/da0a42Seguimi!Canale Telegram: https://t.me/da0a42Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/da0a42/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/da0a42/Profilo Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/37970087Club Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/da0a42Sito: https://da0a42.home.blogOppure contattami!https://da0a42.home.blog/contatti/----------------------Music credits: Feeling of Sunlight by Danosongs - https://danosongs.com

While many pros are discovering Zwift in 2020, riding in the virtual world is nothing new for the women of Team Twenty20. Fresh off a team second-place finish in the Women's Virtual Tour de France, team founder and director Nicola Cranmer joins the Radio Zwift crew to talk about why her athletes have embraced Zwift and how they have adapted to the nuances of racing on the virtual roads of Watopia. You can follow Nicola on Instagram @nicolacranmer and Team Twenty20 @teamtwenty20.    Follow hosts Mike Swart (@mikeswart), Kevin Bouchard-Hall (@TheadKbh), and Zach Schuster (@TheShoeStar) on Twitter and let them know what you think of the show.    For more virtual racing content, check out Episode 1 and Episode 2 of Radio Zwift and our recent interview with Women's Virtual Tour de France racer Lea Davison in Episode 3. 

During lockdown, some Zwifters have taken on some seriously massive challenges! Take South African pro cyclist Willie Smit for example. The Burgos–BH rider headed to Watopia on April 14, where he tackled a continuous 1,000-kilometer ride, covering every meter in 37 hours. After broadcasting certain parts of the ride live on YouTube, he posted the final data on Instagram. 8,150 meters climbed. 17,081 calories burned. Kev chats with Willie about the next-level undertaking in this episode.

Hoy te contaré mi experiencia del domingo pasado, cuando se me juntaron los kms base con las ganas, e hice mi primer maratón en caminadora, sin salir de mi depa, en un evento de Zwift, compartiendo la distancia con 40 corredores de todo el mundo. Lo disfruté mucho y aquí te cuento los detalles. En el episodio anterior están todos los detalles para conectarte a Zwift y comenzar a correr en Watopia.

Cecilia Hansen wins the Watopia Cup, Vuelta a España rescheduling talks, Dirty Kanza organizers respond to petition calling for event to change its name.

Vorrei fare una puntata distensiva, dove scherzare un po’ su questa clausura prolungata, che ha evidenziato alcune tipologie di runner, che si sono evidenziate durante queste ultime settimane.Ovviamente adesso esagererò un po’, stereotipando le varie tipologie di corridori da salotto. Non prendetevela: sto scherzando… E poi anch’io mi ritrovo alla grande in almeno uno o due di questi profili!Il fortunelloAbita in aperta campagna o ha un ampio giardino. Così può continuare a correre in tranquillità. Sta attirando l’invidia di tutti i runner impossibilitati a correre, quando posta i suoi allenamenti outdoor su Strava.Alla prima gara ufficiale, verrà sgambettato ripetutamente dagli altri runner invidiosi.Il fissato del tappetoCorre tutto il giorno sul tapis roulant. Ne aveva già uno in casa, ma nei primi giorni di quarantena ha snasato il pericolo e ne ha ordinato uno da 4mila €, che fa anche il caffè. Ha visto tutti i video su YouTube di virtual running, viaggiando più ora con i video visti che prima nella vita reale.Ha battuto i ciclisti su Zwift, conosce a memoria tutte le strade di Watopia. Ed è molto più allenato ora che prima della quarantena.Quando uscirà di casa, batterà anche i professionisti.L’impallinato con le diretteSegue tutte le dirette possibili ed immaginabili, con una programmazione ora per ora. Inizia con la live dell’allenamento di core stability, poi c’è quella di Kilian Jornet, poi ci sono almeno altri 10 influencer che intervistano esperti e che parlano di corsa, alimentazione, sport, psicologia, e yoga, alle 17 e 18 ci sono altre due dirette con le quali allenarsi e chiude con quella delle 21 di Runlovers. Sta fondendo i server di YouTube ed Instagram, mentre quello dell'Inps non ha bisogno di dirette per esplodere.Quando uscirà di casa, le statistiche segneranno un calo del 50% del traffico internet mondiale.L'esaltato con gli home workoutSi è scaricato Freelitics, Nike Training Club ed altre 5 app di allenamenti da casa. Segue i preparatori più bravi e, non avendo tapis roulant né rulli, si sfonda di allenamenti a corpo libero.Quando uscirà di casa avrà gli addominali più scolpiti di Schwarzenegger ai tempi d'oro.Il cuocoNon si allena, ma, pur vivendo da solo con il gatto, ha cucinato per un esercito, utilizzando ingredienti di cui nemmeno sapeva l’esistenza.Quando uscirà di casa, si iscriverà a MasterChef.Il fancazzistaNon fa assolutamente niente tutto il giorno. Guarda Netflix 7 giorni su 7, 24 ore al giorno. Ha finito ogni serie tv mondiale, anche quelle in polacco con sottotitoli in fiammingo e mangia patatine steso sul divano.Quando uscirà di casa, dovrà comprare tutti i vestiti due taglie più grandi, ma in compenso potrà vincere ogni quiz a tema serie tv.Il runner a tutti i costiHa corso una maratona o una 100km in casa, sul terrazzo o in garage. Si è fatto fotografare e riprendere mentre si faceva rifornire live durante la sue prestazione. Ha fatto il solco nei 20 metri quadrati dove ha corso per ore ed ore.Quando uscirà di casa, dovrà andare dall’ortopedico.----------------------Seguimi!Canale Telegram: https://t.me/da0a42Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/da0a42/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/da0a42/Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/37970087Sito: https://da0a42.home.blogOppure contattami!Telegram: https://t.me/lorenzomaggianiE-Mail: dazeroaquarantadue@gmail.com----------------------Music credits: Feeling of Sunlight by Danosongs - https://danosongs.com

On débute la nouvelle saison avec la super pièce Arrivée à destination, de Millimetrik (feat. les Deuxluxes) : c’est notre nouveau thème musical. Sinon, cette première émission est entièrement consacrée à la plateforme Zwift. Charles et David discutent avec Audrey Lemieux, qui analyse le phénomène, et le coureur maître Alain Cadorette, qui en est un fervent adepte.

The 2019/20 indoor seasons has started with a bang, or should that be a ban? The Zwift community has been convulsed by Jeffers-gate, the fining, banning and stripping of the first officially-sanctioned national e-championship from Zwifter Cameron Jeffers by British Cycling. Jeffers’s account  was shown to have gained a Tron bike with the use of an ANT+ emulator . . . .and the news of the ban has polarised opinion. As the dust settles on a huge row for Zwift and e-sports, a row which has garnered international attention, Simon, Shane and Nathan give their positions and debate what it means for regulation and enforcement in the new world of e-Sports on the platform. Elsewhere, the arrival of Mountain Biking and steering on Zwift has seen a plethora of DIY hacks for smooth movement of the front wheel . . . . which has caught the Zwiftcasters’ eyes and what do they make of steering? Plus a change to the code in the game has made the Jungle circuit heavier going . . . if we dare mention it, the choice of bike and wheels has become even more important. And finally news of a very ambitious artistic project which captures the visual richness of Watopia in a whole new way. We hope you enjoy listening.

Simon, Shane and Nathan are back together for the first time in a few weeks to discuss all matters Zwift . . . with a departure or two towards a bike race in France. Zwift and the Tour in fact coincide, with the platform launching a global advertising and sponsorship campaign around the TdF. The podcasters discuss the implications and hear from Zwift exec Laurent Jannau as to whether it’s working, and why Zwift decided to invest so heavily. Ride leader Tim Searle has a review of The Fence, now that it’s been in operation for a few weeks. The Zwiftcasters round up a slew of news and moves in indoor training, including a thumping price rise at TrainerRoad. Simon and Shane predict what we might see of interest to indoor riders at Eurobike and the chaps speculate about when we might see a new extension to Watopia and a brand new course. Quite soon, they conclude. We hope you enjoy listening.

Staying motivated to train hard every year can be challenging, but when you’re a professional, it’s necessary. 2014 Ironman World Champion, two-time 70.3 World Champion, and three-time European Champion Sebastian Kienle knows a thing or two about this. In Episode 6, he dives into the demands of staying motivated and goal-setting when you’ve already been on the top. Jordan and Matt also give an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the creation of the new Watopia expansion and discuss the latest wetsuit brand creating waves.

Episode 27 is all about the Classics. Special guest Marco Haller of Team Katusha-Alpecin drops by and shares his experiences. We’ll also hear what the hosts think ofboth Zwift’s newest route and the Tour of Watopia. Discover Greg’s “World Record” (that Mattand Kev don’t buy), along with the usual Q&A!

Simon, Shane and Nathan re-convene to bring listeners up to date on all the latest Zwiftery. This episode starts with something of a monologue from Simon letting listeners know what’s really been going on with his “bad knee”. The Zwiftcasters move on to discuss the latest course extension and what it may mean for the future of time trialling on Zwift. They spend a bit of time getting lost in the forest too ;) Listener Graham Springett sets the trio right on their failure to appreciate the full nuances in the word “blob” but neither Shane nor Nathan can be persuaded. The Tour of Watopia has whipped up a little controversy in the community and the chaps discuss how difficult it can be to manage these juggernaut events. Both British Cycling and the UCI, the worldwide governing body for cycling, have released statements with subjects of interest to Zwifters and the Zwiftcasters add their analysis. Finally Simon talks to his clubmate Greg Hilton about atrial fibrillation, the heart condition which has been part of Simon’s medical melodrama this winter. We hope you enjoy listening.

This episode leads with the biggest news in indoor cycling of all time – the purchase of Dutch trainer company by American gizmo giant, Garmin. Simon, Shane and Nathan, with some help from D C Rainmaker, debate what this could mean for Zwift – and Zwifters. The Zwftcasters spend a good deal of time on this – and come up with a whole raft of theories, before moving on to discuss the continuing story of World Choice on the Zwift platform and how at times, the options available to Zwifters produce what some might see as surprising results. Next : have we seen a glimpse of the Watopia extension? And if we have, is the publication of a snippet hidden deep in the code justified? The podcasters move on to discuss the burgeoning and highly exciting racing scene, with the launch of the KISS Women’s Super League series, the entry into e-racing of global telco giant Telefonica and analysis of whether the improving coverage of virtual bike racing is a tantalising sign of the possible future. Finally, the chaps shed a tear for Jarvis Island, officially now consigned to history – we’ll never see the little island again. We hope you enjoy listening

Entschuldigt die verspätete Veröffentlichung unseres Kaffeekränzchens. Aber wir haben es uns nicht nehmen lassen extra für dich am Valentinstag im Podcastkeller unsere Valentinstags Special Folge aufzuzeichnen... Vielleicht überdramatisieren wir auch nur, dass wirst du dir in der COffee &V Chainrings Podcast Episode 113 anhören müssen. Thematisch sind wir breit aufgestellt und sprechen über die neue Sram AXS DUB Schaltung und können unsere Begeisterung wenig verbergen. Natürlich widmen wir uns auch der neuen AXS Reverb Stütze, bevor wir dann zur Mega-Radsport WM schwenken. Zum Abschluss der Folge dreht sich dann passenderweise alles um das E wie Elektronik. Von eMTB Weltmeisterschaft (Offizieller Bestandteil der UCI WM in Kanada 2019) und einem Kommentar zu Problematik der steigenden eMTBiker gehen wir in das virtuelle Watopia und sprechen über eRacing und die erste deutsche Meisterschaft powered by BDR.

Simon, Shane and Nathan convene again for another hour of chat on all matters Zwifty. The trio begin by getting the full story of Shane’s YouTube ban – and how it affected him, before moving on to discuss another new extension to Watopia. “Mostly flat”, we’re told. The Zwiftcasters hope that really means rolling terrain. And it’s definitely coming – world switching. We discuss whether Jon Mayfield’s solution is an elegant and clever thing, or a bit less than what Zwifters wanted. Quite a lot is changing in the way Zwift could work, and the introduction of Double Draft or True Draft as the podcasters would prefer it to be called, could end up as really significant. Simon, Shane and Nathan discuss the devil out of it, with input from racer and podcaster Greg Leo and aerodynamics expert Bert Blocken, an academic who’s modelled the draft effect in a big pelotons. The rivals to Zwift have been making some noise, with CVRCade the loudest. What does it all mean? The chaps chew it over. After a quick catch up on trainer news, the Zwiftcasters round this one off with a discussion on Zwift Interval Art. And finally, Simon has a bad knee.

Simon, Shane and Nathan discuss all things Zwift on the new episode of the podcast for Zwifters. This edition begins with an intriguing tease dropped by the game’s creator Jon Mayfield that “hidden areas” which are “locked to the public” exist in Watopia. The Zwiftcasters discuss. Rachael Elliott is one of the most admired racers in Zwift and a valued member of the community. Thousands of people were shocked to hear she’d suffered a serious stroke. She’s recovering – and Simon caught up with her in hospital for a chat about the astonishing reaction in the community to her ill health. Jordan Rapp is a multiple Ironman winner and former pro triathlete – he’s also now working for Zwift. Jordan will be concentrating much of his time in his new role as Game Designer beefing up the game’s Workout Mode. Simon caught up with him for an in depth chat. In front of the camera, Nathan’s streaming operation is slick and super-pro. But have you ever wondered what his studio is like in real life? Simon finds out and you might be surprised what he’s got to work with. The Zwiftcasters polish off this episode with a discussion about Shane’s first look at a rocker plate – which stirred up a little controversy in the DIY mod world.

This week Betty Designs teams up with Zwift to release two new virtual kits and two new real world kits. In this episode we talk about how BettyStyle is coming to Watopia and geek out talking about virtual cycling, Zwift, Wahoo and Strava. If this all sounds too nerdy for you - think again. Kristin has been riding in the virtual world for over a year and her cycling is better because of it. Seriously. Zwift is for everyone and not just bike geeks. Get on it, join a Betty Ride, and bring more pink to Watopia. Link to show notes: https://www.bettydesigns.com/blogs/news/articles?preview_key=4f6825abc6bb298ae96b0494edf61c6c

In unserer heutigen Folge des Coffee & Chainrings Podcasts spricht Daniel mit dem Zwift PR-Chef aus Deutschland, Kai Rapp über Zwift, E-Sport und warum das bekannte deutsche Jedermannrennen, die Cyclassics Hamburg beinahe als Map erschienen wäre... Was ist Zwift Alle sprechen über Zwift. Alle spielen Zwift? Oder fahren auf Zwift. Aber was ist Zwift denn jetzt? Ein Computerspiel, eine Simulation oder eine optische Täuschung?Wir sprechen über die Geschichte von Zwift, die Wandlung zur Simulation Nummer 1 und Kai gibt einen Ausblick auf die Zukunft von Zwift. Kai verrät u.a. welche neue Innovation für Watopia geplant ist. Wenn du wissen möchtest, warum die Cyclassics Hamburg beinahe Bestandteil des Spiels geworden wären und warum letztendlich doch die London Map erstellt wurde, solltest du im ersten Kapitel gut zuhören. Außerdem besprechen wir die persönliche Eindrücke über die Spielmechanik, die intuitive Steuerung und warum die Grafik wirklich schön ist. Technische Vorausetzungen für Zwift Kai stellt dir kurz und knapp die technischen Zugangsvoraussetzung für Zwift vor. Neben einem Rollentrainer und ANT+ oder Bluetooth ist die Software notwendig und ein Geschwindigkeits- und Trittfrequenzsensor. Aufgrund der Berechnung der Geschwindigkeit im Spiel über Watt/kg sind außerdem realistische Gewichtsangaben empfohlen und ein Leistungsmesser. Bereits Mittelklasse rollen bieten hier einen guten Einstieg ab 350€. Warum du zwiften solltest Zwift ist "immersive". Der englische Bericht lässt sich nicht so gut übersetzen aber er fasst das Gefühl in einem Wirt perfekt zusammen. Probiere Zwift aus und du wirst selbst den Spaß merken. Für Freizeitsportler bietet Zwift aufgrund der freie Welten immensen Spielspaß und Abwechslung. Virtuelle Gruppenfahrten können den outdoor Sonntagstreff ersetzen, mit der Anwendung Discord bekommen deine Mitfahrer eine eigene Stimme. Zwift Quests sind eine Art Schnitzeljagd und sorgen für abwechslungsreiche Trainingskilometer und das neue Groupworkout bringt die Möglichkeit trotz unterschiedlicher Leistungslevel miteinander zu trainieren. Für ambitionierte Radsportler bringt der Workout Modus Fahrspaß, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der liebevollen Details wie dem Tunnelblick. Zwift Races bringen Radsportler aller Leistungsklassen an den Bildschirm um virtuell gegeneinander zu fahren. Die Technik von Zwift Gerechnet wird in Watt/kg, allerdings bringen Gimmicks wie der Aeroboost zusätzlich Vorteile. Auch Achievments sorgen für gute Unterhaltung und die liebevolle aber comichafte Grafik hilft den Spaßcharakter nicht zu verlieren. Zwift bleibt Simulation und ersetzt keine Realität. Die User Level sorgen ebenfalls für die Einordnung in die Computerspielewelt. Vorteile von Zwift für dein Training Rollentraining ist ein sehr effizientes Training, weil du fast pausenlos pedalisierst. Während du draußen fast 15% deiner Trainingszeit an Ampeln, Vorfahrtachtenstraßen oder in Abfahrten verschwendest, tritts du bei Zwift immer in die Pedale. Es ist außerdem warm und trocken. Gerade Großstädter kommt Zwift entgegen, wie Kai im Interview ausführen wird. Die Zwift Community sorgt für Motivation durch gemeinsame Trainings, Fahrten und Rennen. Zwift E-Sport 2.0 oder Computerspiel der Zukunft? Am Ende versuchen Kai und Daniel Zwift einzuordnen. Während Kai seine Lanze für Zwift als E-Sport 2.0 bricht, schwört Daniel auf Zwift als Computerspielvorreiter der Zukunft. Am Ende behalten vielleicht beide Recht?

It's out! The long awaited and eagerly expected extension to Watopia has just been released and Simon, Shane and Nathan are on hand to give their verdicts and discuss the community reaction. There's lots more as well in this edition of the Zwiftcast, with quick catch ups on ex-Academy winner Leah Thorvilson, Zwift HQ's own world champion Mike McCarthy, the launch of a huge new race series from Zwift and this year's Academy contest reaching its next stage. Once they've dispensed with the Jungle Run - and that's no small task - the Zwiftcasters move on to discuss the dawning of Zwift as a re-seller of trainers and the launch of Group Workouts - and what that last feature may say about Zwift's future. Is the platform planning to go head to head with Peloton? Simon pays a home visit to the world HQ of the fabled Aussie HDR ride and, finally - Simon decides to voice his views on a certain squirrel! Judging from the reaction of his fellow Zwiftcasters, Scottie looks safe! Hope you enjoy listening podcast fans. 

I’m chatting with Chris Parker, the founder of the UK Zwifters group, about the latest on the FB groups, including the Watopia extension and swearing in-game. CEO Eric Min tells us what plans Zwift has to clean up profane text messages. Zwift staffer Steve Beckett reveals – a little – about some Zwift news due to be revealed in full at the Tour Down Under. New Zwifter Marcus Neal has a great story to tell – uplifting and positive – about how Zwift and cycling have changed his life. In a two part interview with Steve Beckett, offers some fascinating glimpses of what’s likely to be in the Events Module  and Steve is forthright about what constitutes good group riding. We also discuss the soon-to-come Mountain Route and talk a little about the “Zwift vision”. The Tacx Neo and the Wahoo Kickr,  top of the list of most desirable trainers,  go head-to-head in a Zwiftcast test and review segment. And we meet the Voice of Zwift, ace racing commentator Nathan Guerra.
