Since Zwift uses a variety of factors to mirror real-world physics, pairing your bike computer to your power meter or smart trainer will return a very different distance number than Zwift’s –and that’s as it should be. Zwift speed doesn’t match your outdoor speed?Zwift simulates outdo...
Use a compatible trainer.The Zwift website has a list of the trainers (non-smart) that they have done extensive testing with. That data is the reason that Zwift is able to calculate an accurate power. I personally use the Giant Cyclotron Mag trainer. Ifyouuse a magnetic trainer (or any ...
in a physics sense, you are putting into the gears of your bike. These are calledCoggan power zones, and bike training systems likeZwiftandPelotonuse the same basic idea. To calibrate these zones, you’ll take an FTP (functional threshold power) test—basically, a 20-minute race ...
I had both Zwift recording, but also the Garmin Epix Pro recording the workout, like usual. Some 45 minutes later I completed the workout without any difficulty, ready to go about my day. It was then though, that I noticed my Endurance Score had skyrocketed, gaining about 1,000pts due ...
one on Zwift, and one on TrainerRoad, to look at power accuracy issues. The first on TrainerRoad is a 30×30 workout where I alternate a very high wattage with a very low wattage. However, this tends to focus on trainer responsiveness, and not so much pure accuracy (though sometimes I...
TrainerRoad is a plan builder, an online training platform, an app that syncs to your smart trainer, and oh yeah—it’s using AI to make you faster.

Note: a small field adjustment exists on ZwiftPower. If there are between 5 and 9 riders who finish, ZwiftPower still uses the top 5 for quality, but uses all riders for average. Final Calculation Now that we know our Race Quality and Points Per Place figures, we can calculate the resul...
How to get started on Zwift with a smart trainer How to get started on Zwift with a classic trainer Note: You do not need a speed sensor when using Zwift with a power meter, even with a classic trainer! Zwift willuse your power to calculate your speed. ...
For example, on a Quarq power meter, it’s etched near the battery cap area, on Garmin Vector pedals it’s on the left pedal near the crank arm. On a smart trainer it’s often not written on it, but you’ll find it in any apps you have, such as Zwift or such, or the...
