Indoor cycling is tough. Indoor racing is even tougher – trust me, I've raced in the past three editions of the UCI Cycling eSports World Championships on Zwift and MyWhoosh, and I've learned a couple of tricks the hard way. Overheating and discomfort are two of the underlying issues that negatively impact performance, and I've looked for ways to mitigate this to improve my time on the bike.
Even if you use indoor training for workouts and keeping in shape, the time you spend in the saddle should be comfortable and, dare I say, enjoyable. Not only will this ensure you smash your goals, but it will also keep you motivated and help your fitness curve trend in the right direction.
