EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Tabata's are a type of HIIT workout designed with a 2:1 work:recovery ratio, meaning you only get 10 seconds of rest between each 20 second bout of exercise. That short interval wont allow you to fully recover, which is one reason it's great for building endurance. Notice this workout is on the HIIT list - you must be fresh and highly motivated to complete this workout
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.
