Greetings Slowtwitch! I'm hoping you can help me with a head scratcher...
Zwift's update email moments ago reminded me to get this posted. It reminded me that I wanted to ask here because in my research I haven’t found anything on this… I’m soft when it comes to cold temps. Less than 40f and I’m indoors. Fortunately, I have a treadmill to run on or I would be hurting during the winter months (Washington State). I have a Stryd pod, an AppleTv & Zwift. I connect the pod to the ATv & Zwift via my Forerunner 745’s Virtual Run mode. This is the best way I’ve found to record my runs, with power to Training Peaks & view my metrics real-time on Zwift. Not having to look at my watch is super nice, especially being far-sighted.
Hopefully we'll agree that all of the metrics showing on Zwift should be coming from my Forerunner. My heartrate is dead on between the two. Power does not show on Zwift (but does show & record on teh Garmin). Cadence seems to be accurate, but honestly I haven’t shown cadence on my watch to verify what Zwift is showing is 100% on (like heartrate). Here’s the problem – speed/pace & distance are off between what’s shown on my watch (coming from the pod per Stryd’s Garmin setup here) and what’s showing (and ultimately records) on Zwift.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thoughts? Constructive comments (besides "take a few polar-plunges, toughen-up buttercup & run outdoors")? Is there a super-special hidden offset somewhere that only the MIB have access too?
