TRI247 ERDINGER Alkoholfrei Pro Series: Lucy Gossage - Macro to Micro
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Every Wednesday at 7pm UK-time, TRI247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest 'coach.' This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.
The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule.
THE SESSION
This workout features microburst intervals that will get your legs well above FTP efforts for short periods of time - but also prepare you for the demands of Zwift racing!
RIDE LEADER
This week we welcome back to the TRI247 Workout Series, the popular 'Duracell Bunny' herself, Lucy Gossage, as your guest coach and ride leader.
Lucy has been one of Great Britain's most successful long distance athletes over the last decade. Compiling an impressive C.V. of 14 iron-distance victories, that included 5x IRONMAN UK, 3x IRONMAN Wales, the XTRI World Championship at Norseman plus 2 top-10 finishes at the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii. While no longer racing as a Pro - Lucy's day job is as a Consultant Oncologist - Lucy still enjoys a 'smashfest', and is a huge fan of Zwift racing and training.
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.
