@@brianbarnes59 thank you!

@@youhooku Yes!

Yep, definitely one of my best performances (maybe the only one that was better was one on Glasgow Crit Reverse sometime in April but that was kind of a unicorn), even though it doesn't look like it at the end! Thank you very much, I've been training hard lately so I am eager to see where I can push!

@@andymiller54 "Murdered and dropped" is my forte lately. 😂 This has been filmed on Monday before the update went live. I have a backlog of footage I am getting through. Good luck and congrats on your promotion!

@@larsfriisrasmussen1126 oof, well that start's to be strange. Is it possible that it is not automatically updating? Check the app store if you can force the update.

I've been actually doing VO2max workouts lately, I noticed myself that it is going to be the key to successful racing! Thank you very much for your insights!

What? Top B's are doing 10 w/kg for 1min. 7 w/kg won't get you anywhere in A.

@@leg_snapper I don't think that's true. According to the stats on intervals.icu 10 w/kg for 1 min would put you into 95 percentile of all male riders under the age of 40.

@@RoadtoA Just click through the top GC guys in Cat B (e.g. Benny Axt) and look at their 1min power. You should also know that category enforcement is determined by 5min+ and not your sprint.

@@leg_snapper ok, but then you are saying that very top players are able to race in B category because of how the system works. Not contradicting that theory but that's kind of f-up, isn't it? 10 wkg for 1 minute is equivalent to about 5.5 wkg FTP (if we take average population power/duration curve). That's not B.

I think I had the Covid on the race day to be honest, I felt slightly off. I didn't have more symptoms over the week but my wife was infected pretty bad, I don't think there's a chance I didn't get it. Usually it's not a problem for me to go higher with my HR.

I agree with this comment. After multiple years of structured training, my experience goes a lot into the fatigue build up. That does not exclude COVID, but if what you say is true about the recent many VO2 Max training efforts, it is very likely that you have a lot of fatigue built up, and could do with one or two weeks of "deloading" (meaning Zone 1/2 max on all workouts for these 2 weeks). It will recharge you while not taxing your anaerobic system and cardiovascular capabilities. All that said, amazing race! Was really nice seeing the B's flying again (I used to be a mid-to-high B, stopped training for 6'ish months, back to lower C - and a few more kilos heavier to boot haha) Chapeau on the effort!

@@skullsenna Thank you! I mean...You guys might be right. But there's so much to do! But I might actually try to keep it down for a week to see if it has any effect! It is true my training load went up. Tommorow I am getting custom insoles for my shoes so it might be a good time to ease up.

I keep reading and hearing about over training. Being new to Zwift since February 2024, it has been all about the race for me. Plateaued at 2.7 w/kg., so I am now 6 weeks into the 12 week FTP builder but still wanting to race once a week in the monthly series. The last two races I hit 170 bpm at the finish line sprint. And at 67 I also see my HR at max at the half way point and so I back off to have something for the end of the race. FYI, last 3 races I’ve seen 2.8 w/kg. Next step is to give up the beer for a while to see if it helps.😅

@@mfowler4651 Giving up the beer? Now we are stretching it a little...😂

@@reflectionsdetail stay tuned 😎

@@JB-np4lp I use my Garmin computer for that, Sauce was great but was slowing my PC too much.

@@MrLeovdmeer awesome, then you are all set, have fun!

I've got outside riding videos too if that's your thing ;) both riding outside and indoors has its charm Does ZWIFT Prepare You For HARDEST Tour de France Climbs? th-cam.com/video/abj0VbhuwD0/w-d-xo.html

Most people should have it very very soon. I believe it takes three days at most to deliver it to all people? What system do you use? If Apple TV, I can imagine that would be the last.

@@RoadtoA ipad OS - i guess it will be the last but cannot wait for it - i wanted average speed, zones and graph for climbs

@@bazadam6635 You'll have it soon, don't worry!

What a sick edit! Love it.

@@RoadtoA Thanks! First time - not so bad :) Appreciate. Sub, like, comment - you know the drill :D

​@@RoadtoA Fighting the TH-cam controls, lol... Thanks a lot - appreciated! Not bad for the first time. If you want a real-time chat, channel combined with the usual domain. I am sure you'd figure it out if interested :D

@@RoadtoA OMG TH-cam, last try:) Hope it does not spam you! Thanks for the praise - appreciated. Not so bad for a first try. Support me back, you know the drill. If you want a live-chat you know how the contacts are built for these things, so if you are interested - you'll be able to figure it out, I am sure :)

That's a pity, yes.

Man that would be dope!

But a Garmin device with it's 90 inch screen makes it much easier for them to create a hud you can customise and read....no wait...that's not it...

Not sure what you mean, but you can already do that (on the right menu you see wkg of all riders around you).

@RoadtoA You can see the current w/kg. However, if you watch a rider, you can see their HUD, so I wonder if you will be able to see their power bar split?

@@phil_d So I've just tried it only to realize I got rolled back to 1.72. :D

Yep, if they completely scraped it that would be a real shame. If they work on it and need more time, that's fine! My guess is they have problems showing courses with more laps (like 6x Glasgow Crit) - that is what Sauce for Zwift had historically problems with too.

@@ZwiftyZwifter thanks, Rob!

There's already a lot of people who agreed with me here in the comments, so the "we" description is warranted, imo. That said, as I claimed in the video, I think it's a really good update, only a step back from what was promised and from the feature that was in ny opinion the best. When they release it too, I'll be perfectly happy with the HUD. If you are happy with its current state though, incredible, go enjoy it and happy riding!

Chill out, dude! The guy made a helpful, free video for everyone.

@RoadtoA OK, how many and who are they? Stick to facts, buddy.

@ZwiftyZwifter I'm good man, don't know what you mean. Can't comment anymore?

@@jwo011 feel free to comment as much as possible. Just...don't take things so seriously. It's just a title.;) Hopefully we both align in that we both want the best for the game because we enjoy it!

Yup, I've got prescription glasses, too, without them I wouldn't see anything. I've got dioptric glasses from Rudy Project, they are specifically made for sports and outside they turn into sunglasses. Expensive, but worth it. Cheers!

Yes, Peter....and your eyesight and intelligence are functioning perfectly well here to spot this. The odd thing is, no one at zwift has, over a decade, looked at their product running and thought "Hmm, the things people actually want to read are really small on our hud aren't they?" and to use zwift on a phone you'd need to put the phone on a digital microscope to read the UI. The sad thing is, the community has largely this "Well don't use a tablet, buy a big TV" mentality - but the hud sucks on a bigger display too. The default design is poor and there's no way of customising it - the few projects that tried to improve it were prevented by zwift encrypting data (and a terms and conditions that prohibit doing that) But my guess here Peter is that you've owned a much smaller bike computer that you could set up to see what you wanted and read perfectly well? Go figure...

In theory the Sauce dana fields shouldn't be a problem, the data streams are there and so is the interface now.

@@RoadtoA yes, the data is there. But if I look on the speed of Zwift implementing things in the app, it might take a while 🤷

@@GeorgAndTheBike yep...hopefully thou "couple of weeks" for the elevation profile is really going to be "couple of weeks"

But, zwift has been around for about 10 years and if you read all the feedback for 10 years you'd see thousands of posts talking about the hud and wanting significant improvements to it. If the best they can do is take "a small step" in any direction, right or wrong, once a decade then something is drastically wrong with the functioning of the company. I mean, fundamentally they are a software developer - Eric Min saw peloton making money, wished he was running peloton and foolishly went off on that pipe dream - and yet, somehow, even as both peloton failed and zwift's attempts to become them failed, Eric keeps his job and they blame it all on another pretend CEO they'd hired (presumably simply so he could be blamed if it went wrong?) That makes no sense. But I guess he knows nothing about software development so this lands on the other founder. Here he's added something that would have taken 1 programmer a week tops to code for the PC version - even if you add in a few weeks for the other platforms/OSes, there's nothing at all to explain why they can't develop software - what exactly is so difficult about changing the hud they need a decade to add the ability to customise a few of the fields. They cannot add features to zwift given 10 years and hundreds of millions in funding. And saying it's going to be more weeks to add an elevation profile of the whole course? It makes no sense.

Give it couple of days, it's a phased rollout.

Agree. More customization!

@@PureNRG2 thank you! Yep, some data fields from the Sauce would be super nice. For me the drafting would be the most interesting. The interface is there, let's hope they'll add it!

I think climb portal has enough info. Thanks for the video. I don't have access to this new HUS now, hopefully in a few days.

@@benjapolcyclingeveryone should have it in two days max!

@@RoadtoA It updated on my iPad this morning as of September 4. I’m seeing it now. Thanks.

@@mfowler4651 perfect! Enjoy!

100%. This is a step in the right direction. Hopefully they'll manage to build upon it, the potential is there.

Alright. Congrats in advance! :)

Pretty close yea;). Though I feel I could have pushed a little more.

@@RoadtoA yeah I bet not! We always feel like we have a bit more to squeeze out after the pain and suffering has dissipated, but based on your final sprint I think you have absolutely everything you had 💪🏻👌🏻🧢

@@sigfreed11 thanks!😊

Good job! Yep, this was a trap!

They are. But during the workouts it was always like that. Sneaking them in the races is just their way to sugarcoat the more difficult ones, imo. :-)

@@RoadtoA absolutely, an FTP test disguised as a race makes it a lot more fun

@@user-uc7kf6ky8f yup!

@@sjcarson1976 I wasn't even aware of them. Oh well. 😂

30 minute steady max effort is a fantastic data point for testing your power profile. It is quite difficult mentally though so it is usually not done very much. Zwift has created this "race" to give you impression you are racing others when, in reality, you are just performing this unpopular test/time trial (since it is all into steep uphill, there's virtually no draft effect so the other riders are only "extras"). Clever.

Thank you very much! If you ever started Zwifting, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any help with the setup. My FTP is a little lower, around 260 w. (Confirmed by other methods, too.)

Well I love the spin community so probably not but who knows maybe one day! I dont have a bike and swift setup. But if I one day want to swift you are the first one to ask for advice Adam!!

@@allanschoy2685 that's awesome to hear! Hopefully you'll enjoy my videos in the meantime!

Can confirm. Was horrible.

Thank you, was pretty happy with this!

@@benjapolcycling yeah, I'd say I could have done maybe 5W more on average. But it is a loooong time since I've done a formal TT/FTP test so I really wasn't sure how to pace it.
