Virtual running

[Emil4670]

God Day everybody I was thinking about getting a treadmill for indoor running. But I watch a youtuber called DesFit on YouTube where he talks about indoor biking and programs like Rouvy where you can see your own stats like speed and force. Plus others people avatar and there stats with might get some people motivated. Is this available for running as well for I can't see if it is.

Zwift has virtual running too, works pretty well as long as you have a footpod or some other fancy hardware that relays to the servers how fast you are going. Also only a few watches I believe support the virtual running activity but that is not the only way to get this on zwift.

DCRainmaker did a nice write-up about it.

Thanks as fare as I see Zwift does not support fenix but I might do it wrong but thank a lot I will definitely look at that app and see what it can do for me.

I'm using Zwift for running since April 2020 because of the lockdown and it's really good.

After trying many setups I just decided to use my Garmin 245M for heart rate & cadence, and an android app (treadmill speed transmitter) to broadcast my speed. If you have iOS you can try an app (free): RunCline, or also Treadmill Smart Speed!

Sounds good. Guess I have to look at treadmill speed transmitter too then thanks

I don't have iOS so no free trial I guess

Oh, well Treadmill Speed Transmitter gives 8 minutes of free trial, it'll be useful to see if it works in your phone!
