ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Two blocks of serious hard intervals for experienced cyclists. First block aims to stress and developing your strength and endurance by doing work with high and low rpm just below your anaerobic threshold (approx. your FTP). Second block focus is VO2max. Note: first priority is keeping the right rpm. Stay seated and relaxed. Don't be disappointed if not managing the target power. Not every one can do it...

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.
