RICHMOND ZWIFT -STRAVA CIRCUIT: [J28 / 05/2020]

- During these days of end of confinement we have returned to make a virtual route, with the Zwift and Strava applications, which make exercise on treadmill or exercise bike more enjoyable.

- In this case we took advantage of a training on treadmill, we opted to take a virtual tour of the Richmond Circuit, in Virginia (USA).

- To make it funny we have been doing short runs for a while, combining them with a walk time, a "brisk walk" time, a jogging time, a race time changing pace (HIIT interval training), that is, a combined test , ...



- Training is thus made more enjoyable, simulating a circuit with runners, cyclists, walkers, ... going through exceptional landscapes thanks to virtual reality, advances in sports technology. A few months ago I did not see myself playing with "e-sports", and now, without wanting to enter the competition, I am seeing something that bears some similarity to the reviled "e-sports".



- Zwift has five circuit zones: Watopia, New York, London, Richmond and Innbruck, the last two being real circuits.

RICHMOND
- It is an imaginary circuit created by the virtual cycling application Zwift, with several routes.

- Richmond is the capital of the State of Virginia (USA). The Richmond circuit is matched with actual racing routes, specifically that of the 2015 and 2018 World Racing Championships.


- This time we did a short route, 45 minutes, and just over 9 km.



- Zwift programmers freely designed the route they call Richmond. The route exists in reality, it has its profile on screen (virtual reality), being able to register in the Strava application, with images reminiscent of those of a video game.





TREADMILL TRAINING

- The experience was not bad, something is something, less gives a stone, ...





- The result: together we covered about 10 km in just over an hour, "we sweat the fat", and the satisfaction that we were moving with what we had rewarded us.


Health and wellness during confinement COVID-19

- BACK TO REALITY: These training routines have a personal value as a reminder of what we went through during this serious crisis. They also involve a foray into knowing the sophisticated technology applied to sport in situations like this and many more.
