I don’t plan on renewing zwift this year, I don’t mind the cold or the cold rain, once Simon is born I will have to figure something out. I imagine I can do intervals using the free wahoo app and erg mode, just increasing the setting on the app, like wise set up zone 2 rides that way as well. I really don’t know what to expect as far as my riding time will go. In my head I picture 15 mins whenever I get a chance. I am hoping I will be allowed outside every now and then, but i’ll prolly be limited to an hour, 90 mins max. It will be a big adjustment for sure. This is also why I am focusing on so much volume now. My monthly mileage has increased since May, and I hope I can keep that up til the due date.

I didn’t really like the visuals on zwift anyways, and I really only used it for zone 2 which I would just watch a movie.

Then I set up at home with my laptop running YouTube videos through the TV in the garage, and that made a big difference. I could ride a lot longer with less concentration. One set of videos I found showed the gradient, which allowed me to mimic it with gear changes. I also found a local rider's videos, taken on a number of roads I ride all the time. Since I know what each segment feels like, I adjusted my gears and effort to match.
Then I got on Zwift, initially with the dumb trainer and ZPower, but later with a smart trainer and that's WAY better. So much more like riding IRL. I've done 2+ hours on Zwift without significant distress. Mind you, my cousin's kid (Kid? He's in his 40s!) did a Century on Zwift.

I have a dumb trainer which I used sometimes while I was working. I could stay on it 30 or 40 minutes watching tv. Longer if there was football, but not much longer.
