EVENT DESCRIPTION
FTP Stimulator
Increasing your FTP takes two things. One is building the aerobic base so you have a broader physiology to go up from. The other is riding segments higher than FTP.
This one-hour session focuses on that second part. It has some repeated segments going above FTP, then dropping back below it, then going above it again.

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. 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.
