ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
To help prepare for the L'Etape du Tour training program, this session will have you touching briefly on VO2max power. VO2max training is one the key elements to improving fitness. It's also the key to unlocking bigger gains in FTP later in your training plan. Jump into this workout and learn a little more on what VO2 means to you in training.

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.

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.
