I don’t get why I’m so slow in zwift.
i think I have it calibrated right - ie when im in a flat section on Zwift I go a similar speed to what I would do in the real world (20 mph give or take) and my wattage is usually in a range that is similar to what Strava says I do in the real world (in the general range of 150).
But on Zwift I am one of the slowest riders (sometimes lower 1/5 of riders) yet, while I’m not getting on a podium anytime soon I am stronger than that in real life.
further when I look at the wattage output of others on Strava (including those that are stronger than me) their average wattage output isn’t much higher than mine in the real world ..... yet on Zwift it seems a large segment of the riders are riding 250+ Watys (and higher) and ride by me like im standing still
Summary: I seem to be calibrated right (to what I do in the real world). And my wattage is similar to what strava says I (and others do) in the real world. I am not in the slowest 20% of riders yet in Zwift I am.
Thoughts?
