Thanks for info and guidance. Definitely helped. I did the test on 23rd. There have been a few tweaks since original post but agreed still not as clear as could be, lots of people asking questions on chat function during session. Improvement in that there is a warm up and also you are encouraged to go for it from bottom of climbing. Climb still divided into 10 equal distance sections and end of climb is now end of test. Then a decent run to complete the route and earn the new route badge. Took me just under an hour to complete the route which included the 10 min climb/test. I hope Zwift gives some decent feedback with some decent suggestions of workouts to help move you forward or else it is a bit of a missed opportunity and would show that Zwift is not quite there yet where structured coached workouts are concerned.

In reply to Eric Schlange. Just an fyi I did the final test as a group ride event today and it does not show your average power on the screen while riding. I just got the average power ever 10% on the side and time for each section.

In reply to TDB. I received all my test completion emails fairly quickly but the power for the Endurance test was completely wrong, it looks like it may be reporting the best 10 minute power from my warm down (145W instead of 278W). Makes it all a bit of a waste of time.

In reply to Spottydog. Same here. It took my new 10min best value as my previous best, and came up with an incorrect 20W low 10min value.

If you set TD to 0% are you really “riding the route”?

This workout worked for me. Immediately after, warmed up to the max, I jumped on a Zwift race and scored my first ever win.

First 5 stages were great. The last stage was a joke, no instructions on what to do and no report at the end as promised for the whole 6 weeks of work. What a mess!

Fantastic and very helpful insights Eric! Thank you very much! I also was thinking about doing a warm-up ride before this “Test” because The Grade comes so early on the Route. Cheers

Hi<
I just did the test and the Email from Zwist just had a "previous best" value but the new 10 best value was missing ?
Anyone else get his or maybe they were the same ? Either way its a little confusing..

In reply to Ben. I'd report that to Zwift support!

In reply to Eric Schlange. I just got the overall performance report before I was able to do the "real" Elevation Evaluation, so the report is not very useful as I did not have the opportunity to perform my best 10-minute power effort and Zwift doesn't have that data. I think it would have been better if Zwift had just held the overall performance report until the end of the event so that people could go back a try some of the tests again if they felt they did not have their best performance (or because Zwift captured the wrong data at the wrong time). It's disappointing to go through all of the tests and not end up with a valid evaluation.
