  • (dramatic music)

  • - There were so many amazing features on Zwift,

  • are you sure you know the best ones?

  • - Yeah, whether you're new to Zwift or a seasoned veteran,

  • here are 11 things you'd wished you'd known about Zwift.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Zwift can seem like a pretty big place,

  • so how do you make sure that you meet up with your friends

  • and ride the same route as them?

  • With the companion app, available free on IOS

  • and Android stores.

  • And it's actually very simple to find them,

  • you simply go on to Zwifters

  • and then you either select Zwifters that you follow,

  • click on them and then you will end up next to them

  • and riding the same route as them.

  • - Yeah, and you can also get a notification

  • every time your friend gets on Zwift.

  • And then you can ride with them.

  • - That's right and of course the companion app

  • does an awful lot more besides.

  • You can effectively control the game

  • from your phone, like as a remote control.

  • You can find events that are coming up

  • and then enter them before the start

  • and indeed, perhaps most importantly of all,

  • you can give Ride Ons, that's right, Ride On.

  • (mellow music)

  • Zwift isn't just a virtual reality cycling playground

  • for you to enjoy,

  • you can also do structured training sessions

  • in there as well

  • because built in to Zwift itself are loads and loads

  • of different structured workouts.

  • You can find them here by clicking on that workout button.

  • As you can see there's a whole load of them there

  • on the left and, if you still don't find

  • what you're absolutely looking for,

  • you can just create it yourself.

  • Now, when you click on one and you end up in the game,

  • the game experience does change ever so slightly.

  • So for example you have a little holographic display unit

  • in front of your avatar so that you are reminded

  • that you're in a training session

  • and everyone else knows that's what you're doing as well.

  • You can't draft other people although they can draft you.

  • You can't use power ups, meaning no short cuts

  • in your training session,

  • and it's also a very good way of boosting your rider score.

  • (dramatic music)

  • - So what is that exactly?

  • Well, XP points are accumulated when you ride on Zwift.

  • And the more miles you click over the more points you get

  • with a maximum level of 25.

  • For one kilometer you get 20 XP points,

  • and for one mile you get 30 XP points.

  • And once the mile has ticked over you get your points.

  • But you don't get them for a workout session

  • until after the ride

  • and you'll see it in the top right hand corner

  • of that center console.

  • Let me try and get some points now. (pants)

  • (mellow music)

  • - What a magnificent specimen, (bike squeaks)

  • now, are you tryin' the tens?

  • - [James] Yeah, I'm just goin' down hill now.

  • - Okay, XP points aside, pretty much every thing

  • that you do on Zwift is governed by how many watts

  • that you produce when pedaling.

  • So whats is a watt then?

  • Well, it's a measure of your power so the amount of energy

  • that you are putting in to the pedals each second.

  • Now once you know what a watt is,

  • you also need to know your FTP,

  • which is your functional threshold power.

  • Now that is gonna theoretical estimation of how many watts

  • that you could average for a one hour duration.

  • Now, fortunately you don't need to ride for an hour

  • as hard as you can to find out

  • because Zwift will do a calculation for you

  • and give you an accurate estimation of your FTP

  • and it's really important that it does that.

  • - Yes, so once you've got your FTP,

  • that will adjust the workout intensity which best suits you.

  • And once you've got that,

  • you can then divide the FTP by your weight

  • and that will give you your power to weight ratio.

  • Once you've got that number,

  • that will put you in a group or race in a group

  • that really best suits your ability.

  • Oh, Simon.

  • (mellow music)

  • - If you're using a smart trainer as James is here,

  • then Zwift can automatically control your workout

  • so that you have to ride

  • at the correct intensity as dictated by your FTP

  • and it's a setting called ERG mode

  • and what it means is

  • that as you start an interval your trainer

  • will automatically generate the right amount

  • of resistance so that you put out the necessary power

  • irrespective of what gear you're in

  • or how fast you're pedaling.

  • - Yeah, slight warning though Si,

  • this can be really hard so make sure you prepare yourself,

  • maybe up the cadence or power

  • just before the effort kicks in

  • 'cause the last thing you wanna do, is get bogged down

  • which I think I'm gonna be doing in not long.

  • - Yeah, 720 watts James, that's quite a,

  • - Yeah.

  • - That's quite an effort.

  • (upbeat music)

  • If it's not on Strava it didn't happen, right?

  • Well, thank goodness it's incredibly easy

  • to connect your Zwift account to your Strava account.

  • Just go into the settings menu

  • and click on connections either on Zwift.com

  • or using our friendly companion app

  • and after you've finished your ride,

  • will then automatically upload.

  • - Yes, and you can also click on that camera icon

  • that will take a picture while you're riding on Zwift

  • and then you can upload it straight to Strava.

  • Well it's a win win, isn't it?

  • A selfie while you're riding Zwift.

  • - Right mate, you ready? - Yeah.

  • - Say cheese. - Cheese!

  • (camera clicks) Oh!

  • - That's gonna be a good one there.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - You've probably seen fellow Zwifters riding around

  • on these super cool futuristic looking bikes

  • and wondered what they are.

  • Well, they're the Zwift Concept Z1 bike

  • and to get it you need to get signed up

  • to the Everesting Challenge.

  • - That's right, simply climb the equivalent height

  • of Mount Everest, so 8,850 meters,

  • and then a little bit more,

  • 41,150 meters more to be precise.

  • So yes, 50,000 vertical meters of ascent.

  • So, I mean it might not be easy but it is at least simple.

  • Now to find the challenge you simply go

  • to your main menu screen and then select

  • which challenge you would like to undertake.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - You don't have to have a smart trainer to enjoy Zwift.

  • You will miss out on some of the experience,

  • for example going up different gradients

  • or even riding behind riders.

  • But you do have to have a speed sensor

  • that tells Zwift how fast you're riding.

  • So that means you can enjoy Zwift no matter

  • what trainer you've got.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - I think that doing a Zwift race is pretty much

  • the most fun that you can have on a turbo trainer.

  • They're also completely free

  • and there are races for all abilities

  • so if you wanna get started here is how.

  • First you need to find a race to ride.

  • So you can do that via the events calendar

  • on your companion app

  • or indeed using the Zwift calendar online.

  • Then you need to select the right race

  • for your ability level.

  • They are split into A, B, C and D level races

  • and they are worked out depending

  • on your power to weight ratio

  • which you'll remember is your FTP divided by your weight.

  • Then you simply click on the one that you want to ride

  • and you'll get a notification sent to you

  • when you need to line up.

  • There you go, it is as simple as that, enjoy!

  • (upbeat music)

  • - [Game Character] Hammer time.

  • - Now if you've been riding Zwift you'll be aware

  • that there's a few different locations or courses

  • that you can ride on including that new one in New York.

  • But what you might not be aware of,

  • there's five different worlds

  • that rotate on a course calendar

  • and to check out what's coming up next

  • go onto the home page of your app to find out.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Lastly here I think is one

  • that a lot of people don't know about,

  • trainer settings, okay?

  • So Zwift sets what it calls the trainer difficulty to 50%,

  • so that means that the climbs that it's simulating

  • in the game are ever so slightly easier

  • than they would be outside but on the flip side,

  • the descents are ever so slightly harder

  • and so what you experience

  • on the bike is an overall slightly

  • more consistent feeling workout.

  • But, now you know about training difficulty,

  • why not play around with it?

  • Why not take it up to 75%, why not take it up to 100%

  • for ultimate accuracy and simulation?

  • And then quickly change it back again.

  • - Ouch, sounds painful. - Yeah.

  • - So there you have it.

  • Now if there's anything that you'd like to know

  • that we've missed then make sure you put it

  • in the comments section below

  • and for a more basic guide

  • why don't you check out our how-to basic guide video?

  • - You're lookin' at, like you've got a bit

  • of a sweat on there James.

  • Shall we have, like, number 12, have a massive fan

  • in front of your trainer so that you don't

  • - Yeah. - Get quite so hot.

  • - Yeah.
