JOINBASECAMP.COM Progressive Endurance Workout #1
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
This workout features a 10-minute warm-up that includes 3 fast pedaling efforts, followed by 45 minutes of progressive endurance, increasing both power and cadence targets over time. A short cooldown will help flush the legs and get you ready for tomorrow. Since this is the first workout of the BaseCamp 2020 program, we will keep it simple
This workout is part of the BaseCamp 2020 virtual cycling center base training program for cyclists and triathletes. To learn more about this program, visit us at https://joinbasecamp.com/Opens a new window.
LEADER COACHES
The BaseCamp coaches will lead this ride; we try to have at least two coaches guiding each workout. Ride with 3x world champion Amber Neben, USA winningest male pro Scott Moninger, current Liv Giant pro MTB racer Serena Gordon Bishop, and/or our master coaches Tim Cusick, Brig Brandt, and Kevin Williams.
WORKOUT TIPS
We suggest warming up on the trainer for 5-10 minutes before the workout starts. Also, most people have a lower FTP indoors than outdoors; try lowering your FTP 5-15 watts for a better workout experience.
ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS
Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event. Once the event starts, all riders enter workout mode. Everyone stays together, regardless of power output. That's right; if you're putting out 100 watts and another Zwifter is putting out 400 watts, 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.
