In addition, it allows you to customize the routes under your parameters.

But if we also want to train virtually, compete and bring out the best of us in a virtual world, two platforms stand out above others; BKool and Zwift.

Which is better We give you the key points for each one of them.

From the most conventional rollers in which there is no resistance and you adapt your rhythm with your speeds, to the treadmill rollers in which you move with your usual bike as if you were, almost, on the road.

In addition, virtual platforms such as Bkool and Zwift currently offer us a much more interactive way of training so that our indoor trainings are as entertaining and effective as possible.

The program helps you socialize with other riders in a virtual multiplayer atmosphere.

On the other hand, Bkool focuses more on simulating in the best possible way, the sensations and the 3-dimensional environment in which we ride our bikes outdoors, including night or rainy environments and even real training videos.

The stages have different lengths and gradients, so you can choose the one that most closely matches what you are looking for when training.

In this sense, Bkool is very different since it offers up to 500,000 different routes, that in addition, allows you to customize your training with the parameters of distance and elevation that you want.

In fact, you can choose any GPS track you have from your workouts and replicate them virtually with very high accuracy to the original.

In Bkool, the virtual training component with other runners will depend a lot on the route you choose.

This is an advantage because you can choose all the routes that exist, but depending on which one you choose, you will train with a few people or almost no one at all.

In Bkool you can choose the watts you want to roll at, the cadence, the speeds and intensities and you regulate the effort and resistance of the roller to follow the training instructions at the desired power level.

Zwift on the other hand, has an option called ERG, in which you can choose the intensity of watts at which you want to roll, and the program is in charge of selecting one mode or another of resistance in the roller, so that you pedal at the power you have chosen.

Lets say that Bkool is less intrusive in that sense and it is you who adapts the resistance and pedal to follow the selected power range.

In Zwift it will be the program itself that calculates the resistance so that you can put down the power you have chosen.

This can lead to a difference in watt measurement whether you do it manually in Bkool, or whether or not you use the ERG in Zwift.

Something that is very interesting if you want to do virtually the most spectacular circuits in the world.

There are not too many events that are created every day by Bkool.

At Zwift you have the advantage that every day, events are created, making it easy for some of them to fit what you have in mind to train.

Although in Zwift you do not have as much variety of circuits and as they are usually much more popular than the Bkool events in terms of number of participants, you may be in the peloton for too long, which means that at the training or effort level, you can obtain misleading data, like average speeds.

Of course, it is very easy to find an event every day that fits the type of training you want to do.
