CTS Fall Performance Training Camp - Day 4: Mountain Sweet Spot
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
CTS and Zwift are excited to get you into holiday shape with this 15 day/8 stage workout progression. This set of workouts is designed to simulate a stage race. Each day will offer different challenges just as a multi-day event would.
Stage 4:Another day in the mountains. Today we will have smoother and steadier climbs. Vary your RPM as you receive messages during the workout while holding the zones! This will simulate changes in grade well! The finish comes with some hard z6 attacks so be ready!
Length: 65 minutes
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.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Colin Izzard is a CTS Premier Coach and USA Cycling Level 1 Coach with more than 15 years experience coaching athletes at all levels from novices to ProTour cyclists. Colin is also the General Manager of the CTS Brevard Training Center and runs training camps throughout the year in North Carolina.
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.
