DESCRIPCIÓN DEL EVENTO
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Train across a variety of zones and intensities, building the bodies ability to tolerate lactate acid and recover, whilst also building longer-term muscular endurance. Good for all round.

Join recently retired & "veteran" of the womens peloton, Carlee Taylor, on a 1hour Q&A session, with the added benefit of getting in an awesome workout! The Pyramid session she has created means the efforts gradually increase in duration and then come back down. Starting with a 1 minute effort & having a 1:1 recovery ratio, the efforts will increase to 2, 3, 4 and ultimately 5 minutes in length, before descending back down the 'mountain'. This session is designed to have you train across a variety of zones and intensities, building the bodies ability to tolerate lactate acid and recover, whilst also building longer-term muscular endurance. This session is a take off to one Carlee would normally do when she is in a racing block. Enjoy!

Completing this workout will unlock the Zwift Women’s Week Jersey.

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.
