Ready to get after it with Zwift Academy? Great training begins with clear performance measurement. Start Zwift Academy with a Baseline run, and end with a Finish Line run to see your progress.

We’ll set a benchmark time with your initial 5k Baseline run. At the end of the ZA Academy Run program, this is the time you’ll be chasing down. If your pace has changed since you last signed on, no problem! You can make adjustments as needed. Keeping your account updated will provide the best experience for the next eight weeks. The Baseline run events will be scheduled between October 4th - November 1.

Coaches’ Tip: Plan ahead! To get the most accurate progress results for Zwift Academy, you’ll need to be well rested for both the Baseline and Finish Line runs. Try your best to complete these events under similar conditions in order to get the most accurate measurement of your performance increases.

*If you’re competing to join the Zwift Academy Run Team, Baseline and Finish Line run events require a heart rate monitor and cadence sensor to be considered.
