Team Le Col 60min Sprint Workout
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Join Team Le Col for a sprint group workout focusing on max effort intervals designed by former Team Sky cyclist and Twice British National Champion Jeremy Hunt.
To quote Le Col founder Yanto Barker " Repeated sprint efforts lead to quick short-term progression, and are very efficient indoor training sessions to fit in to a busy schedule."
This workout includes six second max sprint efforts followed by enough rest to effectively recover to maximise the impact of the short intervals.
The ride is led by Yanto Barker, ex-Team GB Cyclist, founder of Le Col and friend of Jeremy.

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.
