TRI247 Workout Series: Micro Bursts
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 over the Winter.
THE SESSION
Tonights workout is a set of three blocks of 'micro burst’ intervals – short time in length, high (relatively) in power with eight reps in each set. All of the efforts are way above FTP level. The intervals length will decrease through the set (30 seconds / 20 seconds / 10 seconds), but the power targets will be increasing… can you hit the power, recover quickly and do it again (and again, and again…?).
WORKOUT DESIGNER
This week’s session has been set and will be lead by TRI247 Editor, John Levison.
A multiple Ironman finisher ‘back in the day’, he’s more likely to be found at events these days either commentating, interviewing or reporting than racing. He’ll be going from one extreme to the other this week though – micro burst intervals on Wednesday and the Prudential RideLondon 100-miles on Sunday… and no doubt will see plenty of triathletes doing similar around the streets of London.

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.
