Creating Run Workouts

Running
1

Hi - I think I did a thorough job searching, but apologies if not.

  1. Seems there is no workout creator for runs like there is for bikes. Is this still true as of 2025? I’m not seeing it on a mac.

  2. Do any of the various online workout creators allow you to put treadmill incline in? Again, I tried 3 of them and also training peaks and don’t see an incline option.

If “no” to both of above, does anyone know the name of the xml field in the *.zwo file to give it an incline? I suppose it must exist since some of the canned Zwift workouts have incline. Not sure if *.zwo is open source, but I can’t seem to find a specification for it. I tried “Gradient” and “Incline” with no luck.

Thanks if anyone can provide help.

It’s a no and no.

You can’t import workouts to Zwift that’ll control incline either. The only way is to create and use a workout on an app that supports incline control and run it simultaneously on Zwift.

Your can run it through QZ for example.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully Wahoo will come out with decent solution for their treadmill. Seems so basic to build an interval workout with hills.
