HOW TO MAKE ZWIFT ENJOYABLE THIS WINTER

[@SteakandChains]

Another tip that I would recommend is make hydration, fueling, and recovery a part of your day and not just a part of the moment you’re cycling. Because feeling depleted and sore is not motivating. Great video!

[@notpogi]

Thanks mate and some excellent advice! I completely agree that fuelling correctly is so important during the day and I whilst riding! 👍🏻

[@lazzaboyman8003]

I’m super lucky to have a garden cabin so I have a permanent Zwift setup which makes consistency much easier. Before I had this setting up took too much time which meant shorter Zwift sessions.

[@notpogi]

Sounds like a very decent set up now mate 👍🏻 I completely agree, I needed a setup that a could just jump on and go, makes it so much easier!

[@lazzaboyman8003]

@ I’m super lucky to have a permanent setup, I’ve ridden a turbo for many years where I had to setup and pack down every session which was OK but did mean it was easier to skip a session.

Was really nice of you to let someone else win, 3 in a row would've been greedy. Glad to hear the heart is okay. Keep it up man

[@notpogi]

Haha I know, super kind lol 😂 I don’t think I would have been able to keep up even if I hadn’t had the break, they were supper strong! Thanks mate, it was a bit of a shock but all good now thankfully 👍🏻

[@phil_d]

I'm interested to know how you stay comfortable on the saddle for a 2-3 hour indoor ride!

[@notpogi]

Hi Phil, it’s definitely a challenge - I’ve been through a few saddles and different positions on the bike although I’ve not had a proper bike fit yet (I should get one). I try and stand up and pedal for 15-20 seconds every 15 mins or so - this definitely helps keep me comfortable and I also have a kickr climb which also varies the position👍🏻

[@philcox810]

Great to see you back and fantastic news about the all clear! I'm doing Flamme Rouge at the moment and getting back into the swing of things nicely again. I hope you're well mate!

[@notpogi]

Hi mate! Good to catch up the other day! Nice, I didn’t know that - how’s it going so far? It’s such a difficult tour, I’ll definitely be doing tour Watopia, do you think you’ll do that also? Glad to get the all clear, I was pretty worried for a while. Good much for the rest of the tour, I’ll keep my eye out on the companion app for you 👍🏻

[@philcox810]

@@notpogi Morning Ollie, It's going ok thanks, I'm targeting the green jersey for this series and will definitely be doing the tour of Watopia for sure! Glad you got the all clear and now you can get back to winning races again!

[@notpogi]

That’s great mate, I did have a look this morning and I thought you may be going for green 🟢 Good luck with it - you’re super strong 💪🏻 bring it home!

[@guyhunter4181]

Glad everything went well with the check up I'll join the club

[@notpogi]

Thanks mate, it was a bit of a surprise and I was quite worried but glad to get the ok. Hope you’re all well mate - that’s excellent news re joining the club 👍🏻

[@craig3141]

Nice ride and great tips! Sorry to hear of heart issue but glad you seem to be ok. Do tell us more if you’re comfortable to do so. See you for a ride one day. I’m working away for a while and really missing Zwift!

[@notpogi]

Thanks mate, really appreciate that 👍🏻 hopefully you’ll be back on Zwift soon, I’ll post the training rides on the Zwift club still be great to see you there 😀 I’ll definitely touch on the heart thing in another video just to raise a bit of awareness- thankfully all ok 👍🏻

[@neilbatey]

Sorry to hear of your heart issue Ollie hope all is ok...i joined your zwift club wasn't available for the 1st session but will try for the next 👍

[@notpogi]

Thanks Neil, all good now thanks mate 👍🏻 - I’ll definitely touch on it in another video but got the all clear and am able to keep zwifting! That’s brilliant mate, looking forward to seeing you there 👍🏻

[@SpinToWin74]

Some really good tips! - Enjoyed the vid - Cheers

[@notpogi]

Thanks Sam, good luck today mate! 👍🏻

[@colinforester6844Niloc]

3 wins in a row that would be taking the p!$$ 😂 Seriously hope all is ok with you Ollie, I’ll definitely look up the club too you should throw some route badge hunting on the workouts too keeps things interesting

[@notpogi]

Haha can you imagine 3 in a row lol 😂 Thanks mate, all ok now but it was a bit of a scare as I’ve never had anything like it before in the past. Love the badge hunt idea - will definitely add a few of those in mate! 👍🏻 Hope you’re all good and ready for the next round of ZRL.. I’m looking forward to a Niloc win 🥇

[@dustinsanders2175]

Thanks so much for sharing! I joined your Zwift club and I am very interested in attending some training sessions with like-minded folks. :)

[@notpogi]

That’s brilliant mate 👍🏻 Will be great to get some training sessions in together as a group 👍🏻

[@raymead7016]

Currently doing a 12 week training plan which I know I’ll need motivation to stay on track for so if they match up/are similar to what I need to do I will definitely join you for some training rides!

[@notpogi]

Hi mate, I bet your training plan is on another level! It’s actually a bit annoying that Zwift don’t have the option at the moment for custom workouts on group rides… If I’m doing an hour ride I’ll band it so everyone stays together and that’ll still mean that everyone should be able to ride at whatever pace. Would love to see you there mate 👍🏻 looking forward to the results of the 12 week programme!

[@raymead7016]

I’m only on week 2 but week 1 was hard enough, and looking over the next 11 weeks it’s only going to get worse 😂 but hoping for some fitness gains on the bike for some summer racing and events I want to do next year!

[@notpogi]

Love it mate, you’ll be absolutely fine 👀 Great time to start training, should give you a solid base for those early season races! I’ve promised myself I’ll get some IRL racing in next year - may see you at some events if I’m brave enough!

[@Eirikkinserdal]

Your bianchi is beautiful!

[@notpogi]

Thanks matey, it’s a lovely bike to ride 😀👍🏻

[@Eirikkinserdal]

No doubt. I kinda want one but even second hand ones are very expensive. Curious about that countervail stuff 🤔

[@notpogi]

I’ve not got too much to compare it against but compared to the Aria and XR1 it’s another level! 👍🏻 They still hold their price pretty well!

[@PatrickLino]

Great video yo

[@notpogi]

Cheers Patty, hope all is well mate 👍🏻

[@dez-smith]

Two in a row…. It’s almost the prestigious Triple Crown
