Anyone has seen that video posted on Facebook with a runner running on zwift? Coming to a treadmill near you?
I just saw it and I can’t wait. It’s supposedly from the lead developer and if true it’s obviously coming. Seems a natural extension. I don’t own a treadmill although sort of planning for one for this winter. I’ve kept up with the RunSocial app, which would be the closest competitor. I’d like the app to change incline at least, and Wahoo has their not so new anymore gymconnect which would do that and more.
And wearing a Slowtwitch jersey?!
I did notice that as well…
Would be an early adopter of this as well!
What is needed is “the standard threadmill for zwift” akin to the kickr on the bike.

How would this work? A treadmill that broadcasts ANT+? Or just an ant+ footpod and HR monitor?
Footpod is significantly more accurate than the speed presented by any treadmill. I have a Woodway, as good as you can get, and still, just like on any treadmill, by changing my cadence and my forward displacement, my speed changes (just like when outside) even if I have not changed the speed of the treadmill. I can run between 7:40 and 10:50 min/mile with any treadmill set to 4.5 mph, with my food pod presented pace while on the treadmill corresponding to my HR at that pace when I’m running outdoors. Footpods are very good; better than gps and treadmill speed and would be the easiest way for Zwift to capture as many run users as possible; no special ant+ treadmill required.
Running in a bike kit. Typical triathlete.
so will we have the Zwift Treadmill Cheaters? You’re doing your 1 mile repeats at 7min/ mi and Cheater flies by you doing a 3min mile? Sign me up!
Does it incorporate Pokemon?
Wahoo is also working on an ANT+ gizmo for the treadmill… http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/01/announces-gymconnect-integration.html
Keeping with the tradition of me posting early shots of the software on Slowtwitch, here’s the pics in question:
I really have no idea how many people have treadmills at home - this was mostly made for my own personal enjoyment, but I put it out there to see if there’s actual interest from users.
Interest Indeed!
Interested! I hope the software can process accelerometer data from the foot pod and adjust pace accordingly such as what my Garmin watch does when on the treadmill.
VERY interested… been hoping/waiting for Zwift-like experience when I have to run on the treadmill. Want a beta tester???
I’m interested and would pay extra for it. Already paying for Zwift now so this is coming from an already paying customer. I would want the treadmill to adjust incline if possible. Adjusting speed would be fantastic too (like for a structured workout) but sounds like the treadmill manufacturers aren’t too keen on that.
Great, now I can get virtually crushed in two sports.
Also, don’t wait us wait 5 years like you did for Zwift cycling 
.
This would be awesome. I used to use my Nordictrack with IFit to run courses. It worked OK, but didn’t like to connect correctly every time. This would be really fun if it could change the incline.

Count another “very interested” right here.
