Recoil
I shall 100% be zwifting tonight, not sure what Ill do. I'm intrigued by the "sessions" they have, according to strava Greppers is FTP building at the moment over 12 weeks.
I currently use TrainerRoad for my sessions, anyone have a) any feedback on the sessions in Zwift or b) a comparison between the 2?

Well done Anj. It's really hard to catch a group back up once you've fallen off them (even if the w/kg isn't very high) as the draft effect is quite strong so massively good effort there!

Thanks Rach, it was hard work getting back up there.
On a different note. Could not connect tonight at all with my smart trainer. I checked it was connecting with the Tacx utility app fine but Zwift could not find it at all through BLE.
Does connection work better using an Ant+ dongle or is there not really much in it?

As an aside its Richmond today. Only done it once before. I'm oddly excited.

I've never done Richmond. Why don't they use it more?

Don't want to wear out its novelty value I guess.

They don't use Richmond much because it's dull as fuck and most people hate it.
I can't remember my last Richmond ride, I remember switching a session so I could do it the next day in Watopia rather than Richmond.
Grep - be interested on your views of FTP builder, as I've not followed any of the structured plans, just done individual workouts plus some custom ones.

Ive altered one of my files so I do nothing but Watopia. Londons boring and Richmond doesn't sound like its much better....
Does mean that generally on a Monday or Tuesday I get the Spotty Kit to wear as KOM :D

Yep, I did the same Recoil.
Zwift used to be Richmond some days and Watopia others until editing the file to make it Watopia all the time.
Was always weird on Richmond days as you would only see a handful of riders on Watopia and pick up the green jersey without even sprinting.

The FTP builder is weird in someways after my experience of TrainerRoad. The thing it's forcing me to do is not go too hard, or just pootle watching telly - I normally only have two turbo speeds, nutter and sloth.
An 58 minutes for a TSS of 41 gives you a feel for how it's pitched in the early stages, I think.
