ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Sweet Spot Training. This workout focuses on (2) 20 minute "sweet spot" intervals, which are at 88-93% of your current FTP. These intervals train your body to resist fatigue during prolonged periods at a power output just below threshold. Over time, you want to move to longer intervals and more total time in zone. Rest intervals will be 5 minutes or less. Total Time in zone: 30 minutes.

ABOUT THE HINCAPIE CYCLING SOCIETY POWER HOUR SERIES

This workout is part of the Gran Fondo Hincapie guided training plans available to Hincapie Cycling Society members. We created the Hincapie Cycling Society to encourage community and camaraderie through the sport of cycling. That’s because we view the society as an extension of our family. Our founders—Rich and George Hincapie—were members of their hometown cycling club in New York City. Along with their father’s mentorship, George and Rich credit many of those club members with teaching them the foundations for cycling, racing, and being good teammates. Today, it is our hope that the Hincapie Cycling Society will provide that same sort of guidance and inspiration to new and experienced cyclists. We welcome members and non-members to join us for our weekly Zwift group workouts. Our weekly series will progress in preparation for one of the Gran Fondo Hincapie IRL events held throughout the year. Over the course of the year we will alter our progression to respond to the unique demands of each event.

ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS

Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event and once the event starts, workout mode begins. Everyone stays together regardless of power output. That's right, if you're outputting 100W and another Zwifter is outputting 400W you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall 6 meters behind the group will the rubber-banding stop. We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
