British Cycling Under/Over Intervals Group Workout
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Under/Over Intervals, where you alternate working 10% below FTP for a minute and 10% above FTP for a minute, provide an excellent stimulus for raising FTP, a key attribute to cycling performance.
Being able to "recover" at just below your threshold after a harder effort is applicable to a wide variety of cycling scenarios.
You’ll complete three 10-minute Under/Over blocks with 5-minute recoveries.
With all structured workouts, it’s important that your FTP value is accurate and up to date.
This workout is taken from the British Cycling 12-week Century Ride and Advanced Sportive Training.

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.
