hi, can you estimate in what range we can expect the power outputs (e.g. 30s, 1min, 5min, 20min) of the top riders in this academy? Does Zwift publishes the results? thank you
Hi @MAxilixAM
Here are my personal benchmarks for male World Tour riders. It's hard to say if riders in ZA will get close to these but to be competitive at WT level they need these numbers. Zwift won't publish any numbers directly but with some digging you might be able to find each rider's personal data.
10 seconds at 15.93 to 14.43 w/kg
5 minutes at 7.16 to 6.88 w/kg
1 minute at 10.17 to 9.40 w/kg
20 minutes at 6.28 to 6.03 w/kg
20 minutes at 5.5 to 5.8 w/kg after 3000 kJ
5 minutes at 6.8 w/kg after 3000 kJ
4 hours at 4 w/kg with
@@semiprocycling thanks for your informative reply. these numbers are impressive!
@@semiprocyclingさん，世界はすごい！！我々は，オリンピック見てのとうり．
日本伝統の(コグ)なので，とてもできない．

Brilliantly put, and rarely understood... "Zwift workouts are not training, but rather a series of tests to identify strong riders"
💯 and probably a good way to disrupt actual training.
Part of the problem is incentive. Years ago there was training plan chart with everyone so you could see exactly where you were in comparison with others. It ran w/kg and raw power data. Now you’ll never know where you sit or which workout you need to run a second time.
PS …subscribed
Coached Jay Vine and Sam Hill on Zwift wins...well that got my attention. Impressive.
Did the first workout and man, that was a tough one lol. I’m a sprinter/puncher rider type, definitely not pro potential but I will do these for the challenge of them.
I've done all of them since joining Swift bit I'm thinking of skipping this year. Previous years always managed to give me a big boost but it doesn't seem like this year is meant to do this. I get the impression I will likely be more frustrated and have worse results
What about the fact that Zwift is giving away a free Canyon CFR among one who completes the academy, successful or not.
Probably worth the suffering if you won it :)
What would be the best turbo trainer to complete the workouts on?
Enjoyed that. Know idea you coached such talent
Cheers
My plan is to do one of the workouts each fortnight around my regular training.the real test will be that climbing race
"I've put more thought into Zwift Academy training than anybody on the planet"... if you put in this magnitude of work, why not flex about it 😀👍
On that first workout "pro potential prolonge" does each of the "Free Ride" secrions mean its flat out for that duration?
Yes, the Free Ride sections are the real tests. With ERG mode off, it's all about going all out.
I did the welcome ride about 10 times. Thats enough.
