TRI247 Workout Series: Paul Shanley's Pyramids
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES
Every Wednesday at 7pm GMT, Tri247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest 'coach.' This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.
The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule over the Winter.
THE SESSION
This week’s set features a 15 minute warm up, including 4 x 15 second sprints before the main set starts. This is a series of 3 x 11 minute pyramids just below, at and just over your ftp. Focus on keeping at your preferred race cadence throughout the session.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
This week’s session is set by TRI247 Marketing Director, Paul Shanley. The name of the session does have a story… Paul was born in Egypt!
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.
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.
