I currently plan on riding 6 days a week and using Strava to chart my progress. Is there any other App I should look into to help me train or to help motivate me? Are there other videos to watch while cycling?
The thing about Zwift is it has something for everyone from beginners to pros, it’s the Swiss knife of cycling apps. There are better apps for specific things that are better then what Zwift offers (for example if you like realistic scenery and only care about that primarily then FulGaz might be better, if you like training programs then Sufferfest, and so on etc., Different Apps for different chaps.). Don’t let the idea that you’re not ready for whatever because you don’t feel ready, the reason to get these aids is to improve not wait until we improve enough to get something to improve. You improve by challenging yourself beyond your comfort level with frequent ‘shocks’ to the system.
