And a running option with Zwift
Just getting set up on Zwift...will be using a stone age Cyclops fluid trainer and an ANT+ dongle for my laptop to get speed information from my Garmin sensor.
And I picked up a Garmin foot pod, will be using that on my treadmill when I'm not riding inside, or eating pizza. I believe a single Zwift account covers both riding and running... |

Thought I'd share a protip I recently discovered that might help out some fellow zwifters - I keep my spare bedroom/zwift room cold to save heat and because I'll just overheat during the workout anyway. However, there's always the 10min warmup period when I first hop on, when I'm freezing if I already have the fan going.
I hated interrupting my workout 10min into my ride every time to clamber off the bike and switch the fan on.. until I found smart power outlets on Amazon that you can control over an app. Now it's just a tap of the phone when I get warm and the fan is up and running, plus they're only $15 or so. Also happily recommend the Apple TV 4k zwift app, I used a laptop for the longest time and switched with a cheap tv purchase over black friday. It's much more immersive and interesting! |

When I'm on the road, in a hotel gym, I usually just watch the talking heads on the screen in front of the treadmill...or run outside! |

Awesome! I'm interested to hear how you like it, that's a sweet setup. That's the exact use case I think it might be really cool for.

One more question for the well informed. Looks like Trainer Road can easily handle multiple users (if you pay for the premium package). Do Zwift and Rouvy allow the same? Am thinking that my wife may want intermittent use of the setup . . . Thanks

I do not believe that Zwift allows multiple user profiles for a single account.

Rouvy does allow multiple users under the premium although it is a hassle to setup

I believe this is accurate. My wife uses it a few times a week and has her own account, I didn't see any way around it.

If it's in the budget get a smart trainer and apple TV for Zwift.
