3 Ways to Maximize Your Zwift Training & Racing

Following a prescribed training plan is the most effective way to improve as a cyclist, and yet… riding and racing in Zwift can be super fun. Can you do both? Yes, yes you can.

Here to help us on our digital and IRL training journey is Coach Jake Rytlewski, our in-house Zwift master and father of five - because you know those two things are related. (Jake also raced professionally for years, so Zwift isn't the only trick in his bag.)

Coach Jake breaks down Three Ways to Maximize your Zwift Training and Racing — with 9 tips for racing, instructions on how to do OTS rides on Zwift, and how to best incorporate Zwift into your training plan, whether you work with a coach or are self-guided.

Are you racing on Zwift? How many of these nine things are you doing?

9. Line up early

8. Be ready for a fast start

7. Stay in the draft

6. Don't coast

5. Know the course

4. Know the Power Ups

3. Know the finish

2. Don't judge your fitness based on a Zwift result

1. Limit Zwift racing to once a week, twice at the most

Coach Jake raced for years as a pro, in Europe, Asia and in the US, before starting his now-12-year career as a Coach. You can learn more and hire him here: https://fascatcoaching.com/collections/coaches/products/jake-rytlewski
