EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
This session is created by Coach Matt Rowe, to help develop your threshold, aerobic base and efficiency. By riding a over Threshold for a short period (the spikes), then a little bit below Threshold, we train our body to be able to become more efficient at riding with acid in our legs, which importantly improves our Lactate Tolerance and our FTP. Make sure you are mentally prepared for this session - it's a pretty tough one, but highly rewarding in terms of physical development / adaptions.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Matt Rowe / Rowe & King. Ex Pro Cyclist with experience racing over Europe and European Champion on the track as a Junior in 2005 is now a qualified coach of 11 years. Rowe & King founded in 2016 is a family business with coaches Luke Rowe - Team Sky Racer, Dani Rowe (formally King) - Olympic Champion London 2016 and Courtney Rowe accompanying Matt along with a team of 3 additional coaches, Jake, Ryan and Jodie.

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.
