EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
An effective way to build your aerobic endurance is to perform repeated, short, high power efforts throughout a steady state effort. After building some fatigue with the opening endurance interval, the session finishes with 3 Anaerobic Capacity intervals. The more efficient you are in the endurance effort... the stronger you will be for the AC efforts.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Kevin Poulton - With more than 20 years experience coaching athletes at the World Tour level, Kevin has spent the past two decades designing workouts and structured training plans to help cyclists achieve their goals. He’s coached countless athletes to wins in Grand Tour stages and one-day Classics, including Mat Hayman’s 2016 Paris-Roubaix victory.
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.
