The Thirds Session

This one hour workout has repeated building segments that progress up in thirds. This is generally how I like to pace any steady or sustained effort. Start strong the first third, build in the middle third, then hit the top end for the final third.

Stress Points: 68

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.
