Prudential RideLondon Group Workout #6
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Welcome to week 6 of the Prudential RideLondon Group Workout Series.
Prudential RideLondon is the world’s greatest festival of cycling, with more than 100,000 cyclists expected to participate during the weekend of 28-29 July 2018. Follow our exclusive training plans and join us in this group workout series as we help you achieve your best and enjoy riding your bike.
Today's session is taken from the Prudential RideLondon 46 training plan, which is in-game alongside plans for the 100 and 19. This workout lasts 53 minutes and contains two 12 minute intervals, consisting of 3 minute hard riding with 1 minute of active recovery in between. Active recovery means that you still need to press on the pedals. Training like this will promote faster recovery after efforts and will help you tackle the next hill on your next ride.
Remember, group workouts take place every Tuesday evening, Thursday morning and Sunday Morning.
Ride On!
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Kevin Poulton. Having over 15 years of coaching experience, the successful implementation of indoor training at Powerhouse Cycling has allowed athletes to achieve success across a wide range of events. We have devised methods of training that allow your indoor training to compliment your work completed on the road.
Under the guidance of Powerhouse Cycling, athletes have won Paris-Roubaix, Grand Tour stages, World Tour classics, and numerous National and State Championships.
I have been coaching, racing and training with power meters since the late 90's and have successfully implemented their use into my training programs. My interest in exercise physiology ensures I keep up to date with the latest scientific studies, with this knowledge being passed onto our athletes.

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.
