As a runner, I just do…not…get Zwift. I could see using it, maybe, on a bike (though, as parent points out, the bike version isn’t exactly all that). But running, it’s just watching a cartoon avatar run down the road while getting passed by bicycles. I well and fully admit that I could be missing the key element that makes Zwift a draw, but as I see it I’d do just as well to stare at the numbers on the treadmill’s LCD screen.
- ubermonkey 5y agoI'm a cyclist, so I use Zwift to drive my trainer for workouts, and early in the pandemic I participated in some virtual racing. I won't say I love it, but I do think it's a valuable thing, and I'd miss it if it was gone. That said: I totally understand their desire to expand into running, but Zwift as an idea just seems so disconnected from the culture and practice of running that I'm not surprised it's not landing super well with at least some runners. Zwift is a cycling platform first, and it shows.
