EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Endurance is without the doubt the top priority part to address on L’Etape du Tour training program. This session is another low intensity session that focuses on your endurance. The key to today’s session is the fuel source. By completing short 15 sec high intensity surges above your threshold, lactate becomes the preferred fuel source. This workout will burn high carbohydrate, without the prolonged high intensity.
In this workout we are training our body to use lactate more efficiently and therefore gain endurance.

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.
