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.

ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Another session targeting your aerobic development but using short anaerobic 'surges’. This time you are completing 10 second out of the saddle surges with a short recovery period. Target cadence for these surges is 85rpm. All of this is getting you ready to finish the session with an aerobically efficient 10 minute tempo effort.

Length: 58 minutes

HELPFUL HINT

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.
