Come bike with Laval University triathlon club for our wednesday night workouts. Instructions will be given both in french and english and everyone is welcome to join. The first part of the workout will be some cadence work (60 to 105rpm). The second part will be some zone 4 effort whilst still maintaining a high cadence. The difficulty of the workouts will increase gradually in the coming weeks in order to prepare for next summer’s races.

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.
