For non-Japanese people👍
"I often train alone, but I want to share time with more athletes to make training more enjoyable and more efficient. I organize group rides where I can enjoy riding while chatting with riders. ''
Mr. Tsutomu Iwabuchi was awarded as the best rider in Japan at the Strava Japan Awards 2019 last year. The virtual ride app, which is increasingly used by riders in Japan recently, has been incorporated into daily training, and it has shared 40,188 km of rides to Strava in a year. With an equator length of 40,075 km, it would have gone around the world in a year and almost at home.
"The underlying goal is to fight the world's athletes with triathlon. Until now, I have been aiming for long distance races over 200 km in Japan, Miyakojima triathlon and Sado triathlon, but in 2020 I plan to participate in the Iron Man series with the goal of Hawaii. ''
However, Mr. Iwabuchi works normally on weekdays and values the time with his family on weekends. To get time for training during a busy day, he may get up early at around 2am. He says he starts riding late in the morning and early in the morning and practiced 4-5 hours until about 7am for breakfast. And even during such a time ride, if it is virtual, there is no such thing as a “alone ride”.
"I don't have the perception that I'll do my best, I'll always get up early in the morning because it's" fun ". I'm looking forward to chatting with athletes around the world to exchange information and jokes through Zwift. Athletes trained together in the "group activity function" are aggregated, so it is also a motivating factor to be grateful to each other after riding and to be connected to the next training. "
Iwabuchi may be so involved in virtual riding because he finds new ways to enjoy the bike and the community, in addition to being a training method that matches his lifestyle.
"Although it's basically a real ride, or training for a triathlon, to compete equally with athletes around the world in the race, Zwift also sees it as a kind of sport category. `` I feel that there is a strategy in it and that it is more than just training. ''
Mr. Iwabuchi, who steps on the pounding pedal toward the target in 2020, will give Kudos 👍
