Have a lap button to segment interval work similar to garmin computer

FYI there is another feature request related to repeating intervals

Hello,
trying to put the emphasis on this feature that would be a complete game changer for me. I’ve recently acquired a direct drive trainer with virtual shifting and it made my zone 2 rides much more interesting and engaging. A lap button would made my intensity days on the trainer way easier

Now that the HUD is changed, it doesn’t seem like a big deal

I know the team is working on a lot of features but this would help a lot of racer without disrupting the experience of others. (sorry for my english, i’m french)

Yeah, a lap button would be very welcome.
And, it would be awesome, if you could also activate it via zwift play controllers.
Ideally, zwift play buttons should be customizable (yes, another request!).

Intervals.icu and strava both autodetect intervals from a ride/workout, just saying


yes, but a lap button is very useful to pace your effort while doing the intervals !

10 years ago it was on the Zwift “to do” list so I’m sure we’re getting close now

Hi,

Recently got a coach and we use TrainingPeaks platform. Something he has highlighted is the inability to record ‘laps’ on Zwift of efforts like you can do on say a Garmin Cycle Computer to gain an accurate visualisation on efforts.

Would be good to see this added as a feature to aid in training review.

If you search the forums you’ll see requests for this go back a decade. We’ll probably be able upgrade our rear derailleur to ceramic bearings to save 1.5sec on a 40k TT before we get a lap button.

Lap button seems pretty essential to me especially if using TP.

I’ve found that if you create a custom workout on Zwift this creates laps and exports them to TP which is fine - but using Zwift ride it would be great not to have to sit and create a custom workout before a training ride - a button on handlebars or companion app could be designated to be a lap button - so much easier.

I am new to zwift but using Garmin for many years now. Just started using and found out that there is no Lap button :frowning: 
 Team Zwift please this post has been there for 5 years + now can you please bring in the Lap feature.

What do people think about Zwift introducing lap functionality to free ride modes and even group rides and races etc.
so many times you’re doing a spin and want to throw in a few sprints, an effort up a climb or you’re in a race and it comes to an insane section where you’re full gas and any to see some lap power etc. if Zwift can enable this at the click of a play button or keyboard stroke etc and show a bid of key lap metrics like power, HR, time etc.
Who would like to see this?

Zwift have already announced that this is being implemented zoon.

Hopefully we’ll be able to program a zwift play controller button

I don’t know if there will be a programmable button, but the article does say that there will be ‘a’ button on the Play controllers and Zwift Ride handlebars.
