One Million Meters: Inside the Year Mads Matt Rewrote the Rules of Zwift Climbing

Mads Matt spent 2025 chasing an audacious goal: one million vertical meters of climbing in a single year.

@Zygos Holy πŸ’©!

I think I've done that much climbing during the previous *six years* combined. And as you alluded to, I consider myself a climber.

That is just bonkers. The most I've done in one year is ~585k feet, or a bit over 178 km. I could not imagine climbing over 800 km more within a single year.

What an achievement. And thank you for tagging me on this πŸ‘

@Zygos And a weird side note…

Matt's last rest day was December 20, 2024.

My last rest day was December 18, 2023.

But I only rode every day in 2024. Since the start of 2025, some days are either only resistance training or the rower (like this morning 😁)
