(Updated 5/5/2020) One of the fun aspects of a game-like application like Zwift is that you are not bound to the constraints of the real world. In their efforts to enhance our indoor training experience, the Zwift team has been increasing the number of worlds and routes dramatically. Remember when it was just one route around Watopia, and you couldn’t even do U-turns? We do. Zwift has come a long way since then, currently including a total of 6 worlds with 67 routes available for free riding or running. We’ve compiled a list of the different worlds and created galleries containing maps of all the routes in Zwift. You can start to explore Zwift here, and we’ll even show you a fun hack to let you ride any world you want, whenever you want!

You’ve put together the ultimate pain cave, but are you getting the most out of your indoor training application? We’re going to look at what it takes to maximize the visual experience of indoor training software by cranking everything up to Ultra 4K.

Zwift offers a neat Companion application that acts as your remote control for all things Watopian. Let’s have a look at the functionality it provides!

It’s that time of year where you might be retreating back to the pain cave and getting back into Zwifting. Let’s have a look at what has changed while you were away.

With the popular 100/100 Run Challenge starting in a couple of weeks, some of the members of the Slowtwitch community will be hitting the good ol’ “dreadmill.” Why not make it a bit more fun? Let’s run in Zwift!

We continue our inventory of the current smart trainer market by looking at the direct-drive options available as we head into 2020. Let’s have a look at the expanding selection of products made to enhance your time in the pain cave.

With indoor season just around the corner (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), we wanted to put together an inventory of all of the smart trainer options on the market. In this installment, we look at the rear-wheel trainers available for as little as $300.

In today’s indoor training landscape, we have a lot of good options to entertain and train – or as I like to describe it, “entertrain”. In the last few years, we have witnessed the rise of several really strong players such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, and The Sufferfest establish their place on the spectrum of structured training and entertainment. Where does VirtuGO fit into this landscape?

We are witnesses to the beginning of a new era: Professional eCycling has emerged with the introduction of the KISS Super League. Where can it go from here?
