 Hello, Zwifters, and welcome to another episode of How to Run on Zwift. Today's episode is all about getting off the Mayfield track or the beach path and exploring the worlds of Zwift. The Zwift game is divided into eight separate worlds. Two of those worlds are only available for special events. They are Bologna and Crit City. They're normally reserved for cycling events, but we have run on those courses before, so Bologna and Crit City. There are six other worlds that are available for you to run on. Harrogate, Innsbruck, Richmond, New York, London and Watopia. Now, Watopia is our main world. That is available all the time. It's a fictional world. It's not particularly based on any real world place. So we always have Watopia available and we have Guest Worlds. Currently there are two Guest Worlds available and they rotate on a monthly basis. So there's a calendar that you can look at which tells you what day each world is going to be available. Now, when you first join Zwift and you log in for the very first time, it may be that you are dropped on the beach path or the Mayfield track in Watopia. So these are routes in Watopia. So within the world of Watopia, we have different routes and that's the same for all the worlds. There are different routes within each of the worlds. Now in Watopia and in New York, we have specific running routes. These are routes that cyclists are not allowed to go on. They can't get onto these routes. So in New York, we have the route round the reservoir which is called the Schumann Trail. It's a two and a half K route and it just goes round the reservoir. No bikes are allowed on that course. And then in Watopia, we have the beach path and we also have the Mayfield track and no cyclists are allowed on those courses, on those routes. Now, you might think that you are restricted to those particular routes but you're not. You can go on any road, on any track, on any world. It's only the cyclists that are restricted. You can travel on all the roads that the cyclists can go and provided you are at the right level. Some places are restricted depending on the level that you are at in the game. So the higher up the levels you get, the more access you will have to different routes in the world. So when you are dropped onto the Mayfield track or you're dropped onto the beach path, don't feel restricted. Run around the track a couple of times, get your achievement badge for running around the track and running around the beach path and then turn off and go and explore because you can go to a multitude of different places. Watopia on its own has the volcano route. You can go to the top of a volcano or right through the middle of it. The mountains, there are a couple of mountains that you can climb to the top of. The massive Alp de Zwift which is a thousand meter climb. Of course, we runners don't have to do inclines. So you can run up that flat and you can pass all the cyclists on the way up to the top. You can run through the Mayan jungle, amazing route through the jungle with Mayan ruins and the massive waterfalls. You can go right under the sea through glass tunnels. Find the blue whale, the manta ray and the dolphins. Why not take a trip to Titans Grove which is a forest that looks like Yellowstone Park. There's also a secret trail running route in Titans Grove. It's called Repack Ridge. See if you can find that, you might also get chased by dinosaurs at Titans Grove. And when you're at the other side of Titans Grove, you'll find Fuego Flats, the desert route. Flat desert running all the way through an old mining town. It's amazing what you can find if you explore the whole of Watopia. And that's just Watopia. There's New York, there's Innsbruck, there's London. London has some amazing routes into the Surrey Hills up Per Box Hill. Or New York has amazing glass roads that go right above Central Park in New York and look down on the city. It's a real modern futuristic view of New York. So I hope that in this short episode of How to Run on Zwift, you've been inspired to leave the Mayfield Track. Get off that beach path in Watopia and go and explore everything that the Zwift worlds have to offer. I'm going to leave you with one little tip. Go to Zwifthacks.com and there you will find a little script called Zwift Preferences. It's very useful for lots of things. But one particular thing is it allows you to choose any of the six main Zwift worlds. So not Bologna or Crit City, but any of the other worlds you can run on at any time you like. Forget about the Zwift calendar. Forget about the guest worlds. You can run on New York, Innsbruck, Richmond, Harrogate. And what's the other one? Innsbruck, New York, Richmond, Harrogate, London and Innsbruck. You can run on any of those worlds anytime you like if you download a little hack called Zwift Preferences. Thanks very much for watching everybody. Take care. We'll see you for another episode of How to Run on Zwift very soon.
