ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Quite often the key moment of racing requires high power between 1 and 4 minutes. This workout focuses on high intensity 2 minute efforts. However, the power ramps up to zone 6 during the 2 minutes. With 6 x 2 minute high intensity efforts in this session, you will also challenge your ability to repeat these efforts.

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.
