It does not make it a very attractive proposition to get out for a run. I have been out a few times but most of my training over the last couple of weeks has been indoors with the usual mix of intervals and zone 2. It's currently Tour de Zwift season in the virtual world, a set of six stages, run and rides. They're not technically races but generally attract loads more people than normal and a lot of people do race.
There can often be 1000+ riders or 50-100 runners and do make a really good place for some hard time trial action. With lots of people ahead it allows for some really solid efforts to try and bridge across to the next group in front. I've treated the runs as time trials and pushed reasonably hard but not all out. My speeds, not directly comparable to running outside, are up there and a bit beyond what I've run before in these events. I've not pushed to the limit yet but will try and edge a bit nearer the limit in some of the upcoming stages.
