Mark Allen Coaching: 1hr Rolling Terrain Workout
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
This session simulates undulating terrain that varies in pitch during the short climbs. The goal is to get used to doing rolling short upgrades that are steeper at the top than the rest of the upgrade as well as those that are steep at first then reduce the pitch in the bulk of the climb. None are long, but they will put a demand on the legs. Overall though, the workout is going to stay aerobic, meaning you will not go into oxygen debt. That type of rolling terrain workout is a completely different beast!

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.
