Yeah, that seems like a minimal effort for reasonable gain of at least something new.

Hmmmm. Im not clear on what it offers. Do you need to be a TP coach or can an ordinary TP user with a TPs plan use it? Its not clear to me as it only mentions TP coaches.
I quite Zwifting 2 years ago and still cannot believe there’s not a 4th challenge.

Anyone with a TrainingPeaks account can use the integration. Here is RGT pulling in my next few workouts that I have scheduled in TrainingPeaks:

Excellent thanks 
Yup, near total lack of any meaningful progress in the last couple of years. They got lazy and rode the CV-19 wave for all it was worth.
Some new roads (minimal), the menu upgrade (still missing from Apple TV) and clubs finally rolled out and such are underwhelming to many (including me). It’s been a snoozefest for many of us old timers.

Can you do this without subscribing to the FULL Wahoo X system?
I honestly don’t see how the new menu is an upgrade in any way. It’s exactly the same, just with a different (smaller) look. It amazes me that they spent like a year on that and I see zero benefit. Maybe it’s just the way I use Zwift, but I feel like all they did was make me learn new ways to do the same old things I already knew how to do before.
They argue that Pace Partners is an upgrade, and I guess it is, but I found it incredibly annoying that after I maxed out the available points increase (double), it goes back to 1x and you have to do it all again.

RGT is part of Wahoo X now. It’s all one price. They still have System (Sufferfest) on one side and RGT on the other, but it’s all one price.
I’ve only used it a few times since I now primarily use AppleTV for Zwifting, but my limited usage left me thinking it was actually worse…but then again, it could simply be because it was “new” and I had not adapted yet.
but it certainly wasn’t a revolutionary improvement by any stretch.

I am no GUI designer. Maybe it is more logical and better for users with fresh eyes, but it just forced me to relearn how to do something that was already there. Not any advantage that jumps out at me in that sense. If it helps onboard new users, I guess it’s beneficial?
As we hit on before, I love the Pace Partners. That is the one thing that I can point to in the last years that I actually use and value. It’s a fantastic option, even though I know it’s not for everyone. It actually filled a need that I know others appreciate like I do. On demand group whenever you want with reliable pacing each and every time. None of the usual BS baggage that comes with some live action lead group rides (not to mention the need to schedule tighter and such).

Yup:
Wahoo System (Sufferfest and the old Wahoo stuff like yoga, strength, mind) + Wahoo RGT = Wahoo X (the full packaging of all those features).

How long until they run out of all their VC money, and pull a Strava - raise their prices, and say now, they really, really, care about their users and will listen to them. (Yes, it’s different since Strava had more free stuff to make paid, but Zwift could move many popular features to ‘Zwift Premium’ and it would be very similar.)

The menu system certainly needed a make-over. I just don’t think the new layout is a huge improvement (if any) on the old one. But won’t complain too much, because else they will just spent a year changing it again

Speaking of Pace Partners, Zwift is gonna keep them on Makuri islands…
But this quote…

From the article " Eligible structured workouts will automatically be uploaded from your TrainingPeaks calendar to RGT so you can stay on track with your training. "
More information
" RGT Cycling will also automatically import structured workouts scheduled on your TrainingPeaks calendar for a seamless virtual training experience. If you are a coach using TrainingPeaks you can connect your TrainingPeaks coach account with RGT Cycling to unlock premium features in RGT Cycling such as scheduling Group Rides with your athletes."
Yeah, I get the feeling that James sees himself as an enclave of customer focus in a behemoth that is rather less attuned to end users.
He’s probably not wrong.
