You can also put in goal splits for a course or race and ZAM will tell you & change colors if you are ahead of or behind your goal. You can also see average speed which the Garmin will not show. Also, if you have a Garmin that doesn’t pair to a trainer, ZAM will give you info. And it shows laps automatically without worrying about hitting a Garmin.
To be honest ZAM is one of the biggest reasons why Sandbagging works, so unless it is auto-disabled in races I would much prefer if this did not be re-launched
Sandbaggers could just use ZwiftPower LIVE to check their average WKG. I use ZAM to track average speed and average power, to make sure I don’t go too hard and crack. I also include it when I live stream a TTT or ride.
I miss ZAM. I do not race, but use it to make sure my average power is on target for my training rides and to ensure I don’t exceed or undershoot my planned TSS.
Glad to see some progress is hopefully being made. You don’t realize what a wonderful tool something is until you no longer have it. I’ve used it primarily for determining splits for our Team Type 1 Mocha TTT squad, and it has been a great benefit helping us stay in the Platinum League for a nice long stretch; hoping it’s back up and running soon as trying to focus on where we’re at distance wise/determine split/make sure I’m not missing my pull are a lot harder without it.
Also didn’t even think about using it as a tool for longer routes; I will definitely try that (assuming it’s back up and running) when I tackle the PRL Full for World Diabetes Day in November. Ride on!
