I was on the mountain course on Zwift last night, the extension bit to the top when a runner past me!! anyone know if Chris frome was in training or was I hallucinating.
Even more depressing he flew by me.

    a runner passed you ? ...... what speed were you doing
  • From what I recall, at present the runners don't change speed dependant on gradient. They go the same speed for effort on flats, hills, downhills so yeah, they can pass you on steep climbs!

    Yes. Quite often a runner can be doing at 8-10mph and on climbs that's quite often faster than the riders.
