ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Warning: This workout will not be pleasant but you will see improvement. An extended warm up prepares you for the main set which consists of 7 x 2 minute efforts at VO2 Max. Hit each interval hard, there is plenty of rest in between to recover. 14 total minutes at 125% of FTP is not going to be easy, these quality intervals hurt but the payoff is worth it.

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.
