ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This is a two verse ditty where second verse is the same as the first, only a little bit louder and a little bit worse.
We do a few moderate sprints to get the legs pumping and then a sub-threshold block with one minute power ups, just above threshold. The kicker is that you don't get any real rest until the entire block is done. Then we start over after a short breather and do the same thing only the power-ups are 90s long.

See you virtually Wednesday!

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.
