ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

The Hincapie Sportswear Power Hour workouts are power-based and intended to maximize benefit in a 1-hour training session. The workouts in this series are designed to prepare riders for the unique demands of each Gran Fondo Hincapie event.

This session is targeted at your tempo zone which is between 76-90% of your current FTP. The workout will explore 3 different ranges within the tempo zone. The Fort Worth event is mostly flat and will require a steady effort. This workout pushes the pace a little to get you comfortable with these efforts. Total time in tempo zone: 45min.

ABOUT THE HINCAPIE CYCLING SOCIETY POWER HOUR SERIES

This workout is part of the Gran Fondo Hincapie guided training plans available on Training Peaks.

Our weekly series will progress in preparation for one of the Gran Fondo Hincapie events held throughout the year. Over the course of the year we will alter our progression to respond to the unique demands of each event.

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. 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.
