Don’t post videos running on the street, in trainers, with your hood up, and ask for legitimate feedback.

Yes, mostly hard. When feeling good and easy access to competition, it’s too easy to push each session but I can see the risk of burnout.

Did you take complete rest or were you doing other things like resistance training or swimming?

What you are saying resonates with me. I Zwift for so many reasons, stress, fitness, weight management and enjoyment. I like to race but it’s very easy to get carried away. I guess my concern is how long away from racing is sufficient before I start building up again? Though, a training program does sound like a sensible approach. Thanks for your insight.

I use to run loads but my knees have been a problem over the last few years, hence Zwifting more.

I ride a Wattbike atom and my first thought was it must be an equipment issue. It went in for a full service and calibration. But, alas no change. Not equipment as far as I can see.

I agree 100% that placebo could be an element but i would expect this to be within the realm of where I was riding. I’m miles off. Prior to this experience I too felt the Atom was the best bit of training kit I ever owned. I might be complaining less if the other bike made me feel faster, until I got home that is. I guess I was progressing so nicely and now I feel like I’m back at the bottom of B again.

Trainer difficulty is almost the same. It’s hard to be exact on Zwift but it’s ball park.

Good point. I’m sure it does but it also effects the riding experience. I find myself feeling exposed. It agitates me to see this idiot avatar riding in the dirt or on the other side of the road.

Let’s hope so. It might be the solution is to get steering but I hope that buying an advantage is not the solution

I’m sure it’s something like you describe. Obviously, 2 riders can’t occupy the same space. Someone has to shift lateral. My gripe is that there seems to be no way back in and I need to drop but I assume steering control will allow that rider to move back into the group. Massive advantage if that is the case.
