EVENT-BESCHREIBUNG
Zwift Academy is a training program, designed across 8 weeks featuring 10 different workouts and activities that will give you the tools to get after your training goals, whatever they may be. For a detailed program overview, please see https://www.zwift.com/academy/zaroadOpens a new window.

When you need to constantly perform small surges of power—and keep pushing hard between these surges—you’re going to need excellent lactate tolerance. The better you are at metabolizing lactate, the better your endurance.

This session has two goals: enhance lactate tolerance, which allows you to perform at intensities above your FTP for longer, and boost your VO2 Max. This session will hold you at a high VO2 max over the majority of each set and raise your maximal aerobic capacity.

Coach’s Tip: Zwift Academy Road was developed with structure in mind. For best results, complete the workouts in order.

This training program was designed by Stephen Gallagher and Dan Fleeman from Dig Deep Coaching. Their complete coaching approach ensures every Zwift Academy athlete learns the building blocks for successful training.
