I ignore everything on Zwift. According to Zwift, the world is full of closeted cardio prodigies who could win World Tour races if given half a chance.
For example, if you go on any KOM leaderboard for Zwift segments, you will see lots of people who "averaged 500 watts for 20 minutes" or whatever. If you dig into their Strava, invariably they are 50 year old men who never ride outside and when they do it's 18 miles at 16mph. Uh huh, sure buddy. (Yes I have too much free time.)
Another example: all of the people in the Zwift sub****** who post garbage like: "I just started cycling two months ago and I just broke 50 minutes on AdZ at 4.5w/kg!" No you didn't. If you argue with them they get all defensive and pissy. They'll start arguing with you that they "ran cross country in high school" or whatever. My friends, post one ride outside with anything close to those power numbers and I might buy it.
