So last week I asked about switching to Zwift from trainer road. Today I tried a free trial and I gotta say, Eh?
It was ok, Sprint points and Drafting were fun but with trainer road its so much more structured.
I like having end point or goals (get through the next interval, finish out my hour, Raise my tss,etc..)
Zwift was novel but I don't think I would pay for it
Just my opinion, I'm sure its the exact opposite for others
I think people are still confused about all new offerings, especially virtual training etc. Let me ask you this: Would you join random Sunday group rides in your city if your goal is to prepare for specific event?
Zwift is social cycling platform, it is your random group ride of folks with random abilities, some will scream: lets go together at 2w/kg on that hill... together, don't speed up...
Trainer Road provides great first timer structured training, it makes you realize how quickly you can improve when following structured program. After you go over one or two plans, you will quickly realize the limits, it is just great to start with, and you will quickly move to PerfPro Studio or similar since it will allow you on stuff that trainer road doesn't.
While Zwift people will make you believe pros are training on it, we all know pros are getting invited in form of sponsorship. Can you train on it: yes is it the best tool for the job: NO
