Marginal Gains Podcast Featuring Zwift Product VP Mark Cote

Zwift’s VP of Product Mark Cote recently sat down with the hosts of Silca’s Marginal Gains podcast to discuss all things Zwift, including why a crew from Zwift recently booked two days in the Specialized Win Tunnel. (Teaser: I was there too! More on this soon…)

A few noteworthy items I caught Mark mentioning as I listened through the episode:

  • Zwift is looking at tweaking the rider CdA that is inferred in game based on height/weight/gender
  • 35% of all Zwifters did one race last year
  • Indoor cycling has revolutionized the training habits of cyclists. One of Zwift’s Training API partners recently shared that they see a 60/40% split of indoor/outdoor workouts among their users.
  • Zwift is currently testing Core sensor integration in game
  • A discussion of “honest marginal gains” you can have in Zwift
  • In the future Zwift will have multiple crank lengths for the Ride, because people have been asking for it
  • AI and Zwift: what are some things Zwift’s developers are looking at and working on regarding AI integration with the platform?
  • TrainerRoad integrating with Zwift’s Training API (spoiler: Mark doesn’t commit to anything… but indicates that work is being done to make it happen.)
  • Velodrome in Zwift: it exists!
  • The possibility of creating a massive single Everesting climb in Zwift
