It's incredibly easy to create your own workouts in zwift using a basic text editor instead of within the app. If you need more information send me PM. I have a spreadsheet that will output a custom .zwo file
Point is, I don't want to create my own custom workout. I want to use the 1000s that are available in trainerroad or the one my coach built for me.
and that's one of the huge advantages trainerroad has. their extension workouts and they're always updating or adding new ones. I've started looking at perfpro. which has lots of different workouts from different sources. not quite the same as having one trusted source such as trainerroad. I'll have to give zwift a shot again this winter.
Their library is so expansive that I honestly have never built a custom workout. There is always been one that was 99% of what my workout was. My coach puts some custom ones in there when prepping for something specific, but even he will just often assign an already existing one.
The other issue I have with Zwift is how it interacts with smart trainers that require calibration. On Trainerroad I just hit pause and calibrate. I still can't quite figure out how to do the calibration with Zwift is running and often end up spending 5 minutes fiddling around with logging in and out and other nonsense I don't have time for
